• Hands-on experience writing automated mobile tests using Appium or Detox. 
• Strong knowledge of mobile app architectures, APKs/IPAs, build pipelines, and device debugging tools (Xcode, Android Studio, ADB). 
• Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines and integrating automated mobile tests into distributed builds (GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar). 
• Experience testing across physical devices, emulators, and cloud device farms (BrowserStack, Sauce Labs, Firebase Test Lab). 
• Familiarity with mobile performance testing tools (Android Profiler, Xcode Instruments, Firebase Performance, etc.). 
• Strong understanding of QA methodologies, test design techniques, and mobile testing best practices. 
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and troubleshooting skills. 
• Strong communication, collaboration, and time-management abilities.
