About the Role
Base is hiring an Engineering Technician to be the hands of our hardware team. You'll build, rework, test, and tear down Base hardware, from prototypes in the lab to units returned from the field.

What You'll Do
- Build, assemble, and troubleshoot prototypes, test setups, and lab equipment.
- Solder and rework boards, build harnesses, and wire thermocouples and data acquisition.
- Prep, inspect, and run hardware before and after test, including high-voltage battery systems.
- Tear down returned field units, run diagnostics, and help engineers find root cause.
- Build and improve the fixtures, tools, and processes that make test and failure analysis faster.
- Track materials, timelines, and results so engineers have what they need and quality issues get flagged early.
- Keep the lab safe, clean, stocked, and organized, and work with vendors on equipment purchasing and service.
What You'll Bring
- 2+ years of hands-on technician experience in an engineering, test, assembly, or lab environment.
- Board-level soldering and rework experience. This is a must.
- Experience working safely around high-voltage systems. This is a must.
- Comfort with multimeters, power supplies, and standard lab tools.
- Strong attention to detail and the discipline to document what you did and what you found.
- Clear communication with engineers and vendors.
- High school diploma or equivalent. An associate's degree in Engineering Technology, Electronics, or a related field is a plus.
Preferred Skills
- Lab experience with batteries, power electronics, or energy storage.
- Teardown and failure analysis of electronics or battery systems.
- Oscilloscopes, data acquisition systems, and thermal cameras.
- Harness building and crimping.
- IPC J-STD-001, IPC-7711/7721, or IPC/WHMA-A-620 certification.
- NFPA 70E or other high-voltage safety training.
- Google Workspace and basic IT troubleshooting.
About Base
Base is America’s next-generation power company. We’re rebuilding the foundation of modern civilization-electricity-by deploying a vast network of distributed batteries that is transforming today’s fragile, centralized grid into a resilient and abundant system. We are engineers, operators, and creatives solving some of the most complex, interdisciplinary challenges of our time.
About the Team
Our hardware reliability and test team breaks Base products before our members can. We run mechanical, electrical, environmental, and abuse testing from component to full system, track how the fleet holds up in the field, root-cause the failures that matter, and feed fixes straight back to design. Homeowners across the country rely on Base for whole-home backup and lower electricity bills.
Our network of home batteries also helps keep the grid stable as demand climbs from AI, electrification, and extreme weather. We build in-house and expand at a speed and cost incumbents can't match, and this team makes that possible.
Please note: Base is a startup, which means priorities shift and evolve quickly. Your role may expand or change based on the needs of the business at any given time, so the responsibilities listed may not be exhaustive.
Our Values

- Everyone’s an Owner: Follow through on commitments and own results.
- Strong Opinions, Loosely Held: Drive clarity and make calls with imperfect information.
- Committed to the Mission: Rebuilding the grid is a big challenge. We work hard because we care deeply about the impact we’re creating. We work in-person. It’s not a 9-to-5. We are all-in.
- Fun & Optimism Coexist with Grit: Collaboration and celebration coincide with the intensity of building real things.
