We are looking for passionate and detail-oriented professionals to join our Triage Testing Team, which plays a critical role in improving engineering efficiency and enhancing project delivery timelines. You will work across global projects involving SCADA, EMS, GMS, ADMS, DERMS platforms, to resolve test issues and contribute to high-quality utility system implementations. This role offers a unique opportunity to build deep product expertise and play a pivotal role in digital transformation of electric utilities.Your Impact

• Review variances encountered during Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Site Acceptance Testing (SAT), and other system validation events, and triage each variance to determine the appropriate resolution path: configuration update, SME involvement, software defect fix, or product enhancement.
• Assess efforts and timelines for resolution of variances, and categorize variances as per criticality / importance.
• For product enhancement items, engage with project teams to assess contractual commitments and recommend follow-up actions.
• Collaborate closely with Project Engineers, Power Systems Engineers, Product Managers, and the R&D team to drive timely resolution.
• Maintain detailed documentation of variance triaging decisions and actions taken.
• Track the progress of issues through resolution, escalating where necessary to prevent project delays.
• Contribute to the creation of knowledge artifacts to help prevent recurrence of common issues.
• Support process improvement initiatives by identifying patterns across projects.
• Coordinate with Quality Assurance and Engineering teams to close testing gaps.
• Help reinforce testing best practices and promote proactive variance identification across engineering teams.
