Responsibilities

• Validate new mobile application releases on a weekly basis on real vehicles and supported Android and iOS devices.
• Continuously test vehicles to ensure quality and function of firmware updates, and to evaluate vehicle performance.
• Design, implement, and maintain an automated testing pipeline for mobile application releases and supporting backend services.
• Ensure test coverage across a range of vehicle configurations, firmware versions, and device types.
• Track test results, regressions, and release readiness using issue tracking and test management tools.
