Job Description:
Are you an electrical engineer who enjoys digging into how systems work and making sure they work right? We're looking for an engineer with a solid power systems foundation and some testing experience to help validate the software that utility operators rely on every day to keep the grid running. You'll work on a GE distribution management platform and related utility tools, so you'll be able to apply your engineering knowledge in a hands-on way while building valuable experience in grid operations technology. Prior experience with these specific tools isn't required. If you're curious and detail-oriented and understand how the distribution grid works, we'll help you learn the rest.
What You'll Do
• Help design and run test plans, test cases, and test scenarios for utility grid software
• Take part in functional, integration, regression, and user acceptance testing
• Use your electrical engineering background to confirm that real-world grid operations, such as switching, outage response, and network modeling, behave as expected in the software
• Document test results and track issues through resolution with technical teams, business users, and vendors
• Check that data flows correctly between connected utility systems such as SCADA, GIS, and outage management
• Review requirements and make sure test coverage is complete and traceable
• Support system upgrades, new releases, and go-live readiness
• Collaborate with distribution operators, fellow engineers, and application teams to turn real operating scenarios into meaningful tests
What We're Looking For
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems Engineering, or a related field
• Understanding of electric distribution systems, power flow, substations, SCADA, or grid operations
• Some experience writing or executing test cases, validating systems, or documenting technical results (academic, co-op, field, or professional experience all count)
• Clear communication skills and comfort working with engineers, operators, and vendors
• Eagerness to learn complex software and operational workflows
Nice to Have
• Exposure to utility applications such as GE ADMS, GE GridOS, EMS, DMS, OMS, or SCADA platforms
• Familiarity with distribution concepts like FLISR, switching operations, or outage management
• Experience with test or defect management tools such as qTest, Jira, Azure DevOps, or HP ALM
• Experience with SQL, data validation, APIs, or test automation
• Background working in Agile or vendor-led project environments
• Help design and run test plans, test cases, and test scenarios for utility grid software
