Mobile Software Test Engineers- Bristol £65,000

I'm recruiting for a couple of more mobile focussed Test Engineers to join my client based in North Bristol. This is a fantastic opportunity to work on exciting mission critical technologies that help keep people on the front line connected in high pressure situations. You'll be involved in a wide variety of projects, ranging from bespoke mobile applications and server side configuration to cloud based systems. You'll need to be happy coming into the Bristol office three days a week, and due to the nature of the work, you must either hold a British passport or have been a resident in the UK for the past five years, as employees are required to undergo security clearance.The role will initially be more focused on manual testing across a range of mobile apps, integrating hardware and cloud based systems. The company is investing heavily in automation and is keen to bring people on board who are curious and eager to get involved. The projects are varied and genuinely interesting, covering everything from native Android apps to hardware integrations and connected cloud services. You'll be joining a collaborative test team made up of both permanent staff and contractors, working across multiple engineering teams.Automation is an increasing focus, with Python and Pytest being used alongside ADB for Android test automation. There's also work under way with hardware emulation and broader experimentation with tooling and AI, so while you don't need to arrive as an automation expert, some experience in test automation, along with an interest in learning and a willingness to explore, will go a long way.They are looking for people with a solid background in manual testing who also have some knowledge or experience of automation and are keen to broaden their skills. Experience with mobile testing, hardware, or complex systems would be a strong advantage. Just as important, however, is your mindset. The team values curiosity, commitment, and the drive to constantly improve. You'll be expected to drive quality and process improvements, champion best practices, and collaborate closely with developers, product owners, and stakeholders to ensure requirements are testable, realistic, and clearly understood.You'll be involved across the full test lifecycle, from planning and execution through to triage and issue resolution, all while reporting testing outcomes clearly and effectively. You'll also have the chance to support customers during acceptance, release, and deployment phases. For those with a little more experience, there are opportunities to coach and mentor colleagues, helping to create a a culture of collaboration and advocacy for quality across the business.As well as technical experience in manual and automation testing. Any experience of scripting with Python or Kotlin, and CI/CD environments such as Jenkins or GitLab, or familiarity with tools such as Appium and Espresso would also be a bonus, as would any experience working on projects that integrate software with hardware systems will make you stand out.This is a place where testers are genuinely valued and where you'll have the chance to influence processes, champion automation, and help shape the future of testing within the company.
