E Source is a research, data/analytics, and technology focused professional services firm focused exclusively on the utility industry in the US and Canada.

The role combines structured testing with hands-on data management and quality assurance. Depending on the engagement, you may help develop test strategies and plans, manage requirements traceability, coordinate and analyze test execution, track defects through resolution, validate AMI and meter-installation data, evaluate system exceptions, and help utility teams establish sustainable data-management processes.
