Identify and define integration requirements across AMI, meter data management systems (MDMS), CIS, GIS, work management, asset management, outage management, customer platforms, analytics, and other utility systems.
Facilitate architecture, system configuration, integration, and design workshops with utility stakeholders, vendors, and project teams.
Evaluate vendor solution designs and technical approaches for alignment with requirements, reference architecture, scalability, interoperability, and long-term supportability.
Provide technical oversight throughout design, build, integration, testing, deployment, and transition to operations to help ensure the implemented solution remains aligned with the approved architecture and requirements.
Lead and oversee project testing and data management activities, including directing and mentoring technical consultants supporting test planning and execution, requirements traceability, defect management, data validation, data quality, and issue resolution.
Support requirements management and traceability by connecting business and technical requirements to solution design, vendor deliverables, test cases, and acceptance criteria.
Perform hands‑on testing and data management activities when project needs require, including test planning and case development, requirements traceability, defect and root‑cause analysis, data validation and reconciliation, exception analysis, and implementation support.
Identify technical risks, dependencies, gaps, and design or data issues, and work with client, vendor, and project teams to develop practical resolutions.
Contribute to technology roadmaps, implementation strategies, technical deliverables, client recommendations, proposals, and E Source solution‑architecture methods and tools.
