Job description

SOLV Energy is a leading provider of infrastructure services to the power industry, designing, building and maintaining utility scale solar, battery storage and high voltage substation projects nationwide.

Job Description Summary:

SOLV Energy is looking for a QA Engineer to join our Software Engineering team and contribute to the build-out of our test automation. Our goal is a fast, thorough, AI-assisted QA process. You'll own that effort, fix bugs, and turn what you learn from testing and support into clear direction for our product team. Our Software Engineering team builds custom software for utility-scale solar: construction management, data monitoring, analytics, and reporting. The testing challenges are varied and complex. They also span a stack that runs from TypeScript/React web apps and iOS and Android mobile apps to a Rust sensor-data pipeline, Python analytics, and optimization tools. Experience in solar or energy isn't required. We care more about how you approach complex problems. This role is fully remote, or hybrid with regular office presence in San Diego, CA or Bend, Oregon. Specific location details and expectations will be discussed during the interview process.

Job Description:

This job description reflects management's assignment of essential functions; it does not prescribe or restrict the tasks that may be assigned.

Position Responsibilities and Duties:

• Achieve an expert-level understanding of our custom software: its features, design intent, integrations with other business platforms, and how field and business users rely on it
• Design, build, and maintain our test automation
• Use AI tools (e.g. Claude Code) to accelerate test creation, failure triage, and debugging, and push the capabilities of the team's AI-assisted workflows
• Develop test strategies for complex, evolving systems, including file ingestion, mapping, and analytics
• Collaborate with other QA team member(s) to plan and execute functional, regression, negative, and exploratory testing
• Write test cases and verify code changes against product requirements
• Prioritize and manage testing work independently using Jira, team tools, and release timelines
• Diagnose and fix defects yourself, working locally with Git and submitting changes through the team's standard code review and release process
• Provide Tier 2 support for our custom software: triage issues, resolve where possible, and elevate with clear, reproducible bug reports
• Use testing results, support trends, and usage data (such as user journeys in Datadog) to show the product team what needs to change and where root causes lie
• Document known fixes and testing practices in the team wiki
• Complete other responsibilities as assigned

Minimum Skills or Experience Requirements:

• B.S. in Engineering, Computer Science, or related field, or equivalent experience
• 7+ years of software QA experience
• Hands-on experience designing and building test automation, not only maintaining existing frameworks
• Proficiency in at least one modern programming language, and a track record of learning new ones
• Experience making code changes in an existing codebase
• Practical experience using AI-assisted development or testing tools
• Experience testing software applications, identifying bugs, and validating features against product requirements
• Proficiency in Jira, Confluence, and Git
• Experience providing software support, including triage and troubleshooting
• Clear, concise communication with technical and non-technical stakeholders, such as software engineering, field, and business leadership

Preferred Skills:

• Evidence of solving complex technical problems end to end
• A track record of learning new technologies, domains, and languages, and growing in scope over your career
• Experience building tools or systems from scratch where none existed
• Experience testing data pipelines, analytics, or systems whose expected results change over time
• Critical thinking about how systems fail: finding root causes, not just symptoms
• Autonomy within a lean, fast-paced team

Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the U.S. without requiring employer sponsorship now or in the future.
