Job Description:
Lead the design and development of scalable mobile automation frameworks for a next-generation, unified React Native application platform.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and maintain automation frameworks for React Native mobile apps (iOS & Android)

• Develop greenfield automation architecture for a new all-encompassing mobile app platform

• Integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines for continuous testing and release readiness

• Qualify new feature development through automation (75%) and exploratory/manual validation (25%)

• Perform device connectivity testing across IoT, home, wellness, and robotics products

• Participate in daily Scrum ceremonies, sprint planning, and bi-weekly releases across multiple teams

• Collaborate with U.S. and offshore (China) scrum teams

• Mentor engineers on automation best practices and promote a quality-first culture

• Remain flexible in tooling (Appium and emerging AI/natural-language-based automation tools)

Requirements:

• Must-Haves:

  • Strong hands-on experience building mobile automation frameworks from scratch (not just writing test cases)

  • Experience testing React Native applications across iOS and Android

  • Solid programming skills in Java AND either JavaScript or TypeScript

  • Experience with Appium or similar mobile automation frameworks

  • Proven experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines

  • Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments with sprint and release cadences

  • Comfortable operating as an SDET (automation-first mindset, not an app developer pivot)

  • Experience qualifying new features through both automation and exploratory testing

  • Strong collaboration skills across distributed teams

• Nice-to-Haves:

  • Experience with AI-driven or natural language-based automation tools

  • Experience in connected devices, IoT, robotics, health/wellness, or consumer product ecosystems

  • Experience mentoring team members on automation strategy and best practices
