Staff Test Engineer (Client Applications)

Gardena, California, United States

The Company:

Faraday Future (FF) is a California-based mobility company, leveraging the latest technologies and world’s best talent to realize exciting new possibilities in mobility. We’re producing user-centric, technology-first vehicles to establish new paradigms in human-vehicle interaction. We’re not just seeking to change how our cars work – we’re seeking to change the way we drive. At FF, we’re creating something new, something connected, and something with a true global impact.

Your Role:

As a Staff Test Engineer (Client Applications) in our Crypto projects, you will own the end‑to‑end quality strategy and execution for iOS and Android apps and platform websites. You will translate requirements into scalable test plans and automation, architect and maintain mobile‑first and web/API test frameworks in CI/CD, and publish decisive, actionable quality signals. You’ll partner with Product, Design, and Engineering to drive design‑for‑testability, performance and reliability validation, and release readiness—focused on crypto use cases (real‑time data, account/KYC, payments, and secure integrations).

Key Responsibilities:  

  • Strategy & Governance: Define risk‑based coverage, entry/exit gates, and traceability; standardize test plans and device/OS matrices.
  • Mobile & Web Testing: Execute functional/regression/smoke/exploratory, cross‑device/browser, localization, and accessibility (VoiceOver/TalkBack) testing; reproduce issues and verify fixes.
  • Automation Architecture: Build XCUITest/XCTest and Espresso/UI Automator suites (use Appium when cross‑platform is appropriate) and Playwright/Cypress for web; apply Page/Screen Object patterns, resilient locators, parallel runs, and flake control to keep CI green.
  • API & Integration: Validate REST/GraphQL flows end‑to‑end (auth, payments, identity); employ mocks/stubs and contract testing where needed; inspect traffic with Charles/Proxyman.
  • Performance & Reliability: Measure startup, frame time/jank, memory/CPU/network/battery; track crash‑free sessions/ANRs; use Xcode Instruments, Android Profiler/Perfetto, and Crashlytics; collaborate on fixes and verify improvements.
  • Crypto Essentials: Validate real‑time WebSocket/streaming UI behavior (order lists, tickers), rate‑limit/backoff/reconnect handling, and precision‑sensitive workflows (prices/quantities/fees, deterministic rounding & idempotency).
  • CI/CD & Environments: Integrate tests into GitHub Actions/GitLab CI/Jenkins; run on device clouds (e.g., Firebase Test Lab, AWS Device Farm, BrowserStack) with artifacts (videos/screenshots/logs); manage test data and environment config; enforce merge/release gates.
  • Reporting & Release: Produce concise dashboards and go/no‑go recommendations; support phased rollouts, feature flags/remote config, and post‑release monitoring.

Basic Qualifications:  

  • Bachelor’s degree or above in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • 7+ years testing mobile and web applications, including 3+ years architecting/owning automation frameworks on a scale.
  • Proficiency with XCUITest/XCTest and Espresso/UI Automator; exposure to Appium for cross‑platform scenarios.
  • Strong web/UI automation with Playwright or Cypress and API automation using Postman/Newman or REST Assured; solid TypeScript/JavaScript or Kotlin/Swift fundamentals.
  • Deep understanding of mobile fundamentals: app/scene/activity lifecycles, background limits (Doze/App Standby/BGTaskScheduler), deep links, notifications, permissions, and networking.
  • Performance engineering: Instruments, Android Profiler/Perfetto, Crashlytics; ability to reduce cold start, jank, memory churn, and battery/network overhead.
  • CI/CD at scale; device‑cloud operation; proven ability to stabilize flaky suites and optimize runtime.
  • Clear written communication that turns into actionable risks and release decisions.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Professional working proficiency bilingual in Mandarin.
  • Contract testing (e.g., Pact), service mocking (MockWebServer, OHHTTPStubs), and feature‑flag‑driven testing.
  • Validating analytics/event schemas and experimentation tags; data quality checks for real‑time feeds.
  • Crypto‑domain: testing WebSocket/SSE flows, local state reconciliation after reconnects, precision/rounding verification with BigDecimal‑style logic, and auditability of user/account actions.
  • Observability familiarity (logs/metrics/traces), synthetic monitoring, and basic SLO/error‑budget practices.

Salary Range:

($160,000 - $180,000 DOE), plus benefits and incentive plans

 Perks + Benefits

  • Healthcare + dental + vision benefits (Free for you/discounted for family)
  • 401(k) options

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
