About Energy Exemplar In an era where the world is rapidly advancing towards a cleaner future through decarbonization, Energy Exemplar's mission lies in 'Empowering Transformative Energy Decisions'. Founded in 1999 in Adelaide, Australia, our award-winning software portfolio encompassing the modeling and simulation platform PLEXOS®, Aurora, and Adapt2, is trusted by innovative organizations across the globe. Energy Exemplar is growing fast around 30% year on year and, that growth is driven by how we work. We trust our team to deliver great results from wherever they work best, whether that's at home, in the office, or on the move.

We're a global team that values ownership, integrity, and innovation. As a team member you will be part of a team which has full responsibility for development & testing aspects of the application. You will have the drive to focus on your work, help support you team to achieve continuous improvement, work in line to have best testing approach and participate in initiatives to improve quality, performance, and maintainability with a strong focus on customer satisfaction and usability. You will have the opportunity to work with an energetic team, using agile development methodologies.

Report bugs and errors to development teams and Conduct post release and post implementation testing

Work closely with Software Developers and other QA engineers to deliver the highest quality products in a timely and cost-effective manner.

Generating reports such as defect analysis report, feature status reports

Follow the software development life cycle methodology through the life of the project with specific focus on software quality

Design and execute test cases for core Electrical & Power Systems simulation features including generation dispatch, unit commitment, load flow, and market clearing algorithms within PLEXOS and related products

Maintain and update test suites covering renewable energy integration scenarios (wind, solar, hydro, battery storage), ensuring edge cases such as curtailment, ramp constraints, and intermittency are thoroughly tested.

High Quality Contribution:

Design, develop, review, re-factor, and maintain automation framework,



test cases and scripts with quality and performance in mind.

Identify and manage risks for schedule and quality with the team.

Add to engineering team's culture of high code & product quality

Develop and maintain domain-specific regression test libraries for power market simulations covering electricity pricing models, hydrothermal coordination, and transmission network constraints (DC load flow, AC optimal power flow)

Proactively identify data quality risks in simulation input datasets (timeseries, topology, generator parameters) and flag issues that could lead to incorrect modelling outcomes before product release.

Seek support from local and global QA & developer teams when required.

Collaborate with Energy & Power domain consultants, product managers, and customer-facing teams to translate utility-grade regulatory and grid compliance requirements (NERC, IEC View phone number on foundit.in, CIM standards) into actionable test scenarios
