Android Test Automation Engineer

Job#: 3039820

Job Description:

Typical Day in the Role

A typical day may include writing test infrastructure software to install, provision and configure software on prototype Android devices, and then run tests on it. The engineer will validate fixes across builds, collaborate with senior engineers, PMs, and engineering leads to understand priority scenarios, assess release risks, and ensure test coverage aligns with current project needs. They may also flash and configure prototype devices, manage device fleets and test environments, support CI/CD test runs, prepare execution reports, and provide clear diagnostics or recommendations based on test outcomes.

Purpose of the Team: The purpose is to support **Project Solara** -- Microsoft's chip-to-cloud platform for agent-first devices, developed within the Applied Sciences Group -- by ensuring software quality and stability across concept reference devices during the internal self-host (dogfood) program, in which hundreds of Microsoft employees are already using these devices in their daily workflows.

Key projects: This role will contribute to writing and maintaining automated test suites, which provision, configure, and run software on prototype Android devices, and ensuring software quality by preventing defects before release across builds for the Project Solara device family.

Candidate Requirements

Disqualifiers: Candidates without software engineering or test automation experience would be disqualified, as this is a core requirement for the role.

Best vs. Average: The ideal resume would contain significant hands-on experience with provisioning and configuring **Android / AOSP** devices. Because Project Solara devices run the **Microsoft Device Ecosystem Platform (MDEP)** -- an enterprise-grade OS built on AOSP -- Android platform familiarity is a meaningful differentiator, not just a nice-to-have. 5-7 years minimum is required for the role, with additional experience a bonus. Candidate should be able to work independently and with a team.
