[quote=deadzone]I’m curious what specific background and training is required to be a “mobile engineer”? I suspect big part of the challenge of recruiting is that truly qualified folks have to have significant industry experience and there is a limited pool of those folks forcing you to poach.
Is an Engineering degree really needed for most of this work? Engineering school is very math intensive, I highly doubt that solving differential equations has any relevance on the development of mobile apps for an iphone. Do you only look at folks with certain college degrees or is that not even a pre-requisite?[/quote]
“mobile engineer” is an extremely broad term. No one hire a “mobile engineer”. There’s android and iOS. There’s lower level OS apps and there are user facing apps that have a lot more UI/UX. Each of those have different needs.
