What We Do
Dynamic Ratings is an ISO-certified company dedicated to providing monitoring, control, and communication solutions for our customers in the utility industry. We provide condition-based monitoring products and services to reduce outages, increase safety, and gain visibility of electrical equipment throughout the power grid, serving industries and communities worldwide.

• Design, review, and execute test plans, cases, and scripts for new and existing products.
• Support manual, automated, functional, integration, system, regression, performance, reliability, and usability testing.
• Work early with development teams to clarify requirements, acceptance criteria, testability, and release risks.
• Review defects, test results, unresolved issues, and quality metrics for release readiness.
• Improve automated testing, regression coverage, test fixtures, documentation, and CI practices.
• Assist hardware troubleshooting, including reading schematics and using lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, and related tools.
• Act as third-level support for complex issues from Technical Support, Field Service, Production, Application Engineering, Sales, or customers.
• Reproduce, isolate, document, and triage customer issues into defects, corrective actions, documentation updates, or product improvements.
• Participate in design reviews, sprint and release planning, corrective actions, engineering changes, and quality improvement initiatives.
• Occasional travel may be required for product investigations, customer support, installations, vendor visits, training, or industry events.

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Electronics, Software Engineering, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Experience leading, mentoring, or coordinating a QA/test team.
• Strong experience testing embedded systems, industrial electronics, integrated hardware/software products, or complex technical software.
• Experience with both manual and automated testing.
• Solid understanding of QA methods, defect lifecycle management, release and regression testing, and risk-based test planning.
• Ability to interpret specifications, requirements, hardware schematics, logs, diagnostic outputs, and software behavior.
• Practical troubleshooting experience across software and hardware systems.
• Strong communication skills to explain defects, risks, release status, and technical findings to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Preference given to candidates with experience in/with the following:

• Industrial embedded systems, electrical network products, power utility equipment, condition monitoring, protection, control, automation, or similar products.
• Testing embedded Linux, C, C++, firmware, communications interfaces, data acquisition, analytics, alarms, or telemetry products.
• Testing web tools or user interfaces, including JavaScript or React applications.
• Automated test tools or frameworks such as pytest and Playwright.
• Designing, maintaining, or using hardware or production test fixtures, system simulators, or automated lab setups.
