About the role

  • We safeguard the economy and well-being of 30 million Californians by operating the grid reliably 24/7.
  • The California ISO's function is often compared to that of air traffic controllers.
  • It would be grossly unfair for air traffic controllers to represent one airline and profit from allowing that company's planes to go through before others.

Responsibilities

  • Responsible for the planning and execution of the optimum level of Security, Integration and Performance Tests, assessing test results and making recommendations for areas and prioritization to address variances and performance tuning as needed, including recommendations to the QRB, with inputs from the Quality Assurance Lead.
  • Leads technical aspects of test planning, determines the quantity and quality of tests, and ensures requirements are testable and software meets ISO's requirements.
  • May receive guidance from the Quality Assurance Lead when needed.
  • Optimizes the sequencing and scope of technical testing aspects to drive lower Total Cost of Quality for ISO solutions.
  • Leads testing teams, related to the quality of tests and test records, to ensure all ISO software meets or exceeds the established quality standards and drives sustained reduction in defect escape rates to higher environments.
  • Establishes and maintains ISO Performance and Test Automation framework, performs code-reviews and maintenance of related scripts.
  • Establishes and maintains ISO product baseline tests and incremental test labs/cases and evidence for software security, performance and integration.
  • The California Independent System Operator (ISO) manages the flow of electricity across the high-voltage, long-distance power lines that make up 80 percent of California's power grid.
  • As the impartial grid operator, the California ISO opens access to the wholesale power market that is designed to diversify resources and lower prices.
  • In the same way, the California ISO operates independently-managing the electron traffic on a power grid we do not own-making sure electricity is safely delivered to utilities and consumers on time and reliably.
