QA & Validation Engineer – Power Systems

We’re looking for a QA & Validation Engineer – Power Systems to ensure that CPPC Tiers releases are thoroughly validated, reproducible, and ready for certification before General Availability. In this role, you’ll be responsible for proving that the system behaves correctly - not just in theory, but under realistic grid and failure conditions.

This position is for someone who treats testing as an engineering discipline. You’ll work closely with control, software, and power systems engineers to define meaningful test coverage, execute dynamic validation, and produce the evidence required for grid-code compliance and customer acceptance.

This role is fully remote.

What You Will Do

• Define functional, integration and dynamic test plans for CPPC Tiers releases

• Execute HIL and grid-simulation tests to validate control behavior under realistic scenarios

• Perform structured regression testing across software and control releases

• Generate clear auditable validation, supporting grid-code compliance

• Support FAT, SAT, and acceptance criteria definition with customers, EPCs, and grid operators

• Identify gaps, edge cases, and regressions early and drive them to resolution

• Contribute to the continuous improvement of validation processes and test methodologies

Why Join Us

You will join a fast-growing technology company operating in a complex and challenging industrial and energy environment, where software and engineering innovation has a real impact on systems and infrastructure.

We work on highly complex projects that require strong technical expertise, ownership, and close collaboration across multidisciplinary teams (software, control, automation, operations).

Positions are open both to professionals working as contractors and to candidates interested in on-site employee roles, depending on the profile, experience, and project needs.
We welcome applications from local candidates, available to work on-site, as well as from professionals based worldwide, in line with the applicable contractual model.

We offer a dynamic, results-oriented work environment, where people are actively involved in projects and valued for the contribution they bring
