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 This Team
The Maintenance team is the backbone that enables Base to scale battery production from prototype to thousands of units per year. Every hour of uptime you create directly translates to more batteries reaching customers and accelerating the energy transition.
You'll be working on cutting-edge production lines where a single piece of equipment down can halt an entire manufacturing cell-making your ability to diagnose, repair, and prevent failures essential to Base's growth trajectory.
This team offers a rare opportunity to build deep technical expertise across mechanical, electrical, and automation systems while seeing the immediate impact of your work: batteries rolling off lines you kept running, production records you helped set, and skills you developed that will define the future of your manufacturing career.
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
- First Principles Thinking: Question assumptions. Principles > rules.
- Operate at Base Pace: Focus on what matters, act quickly, and learn by doing.
- Give & Get Feedback: Be direct, be humble, and maintain a growth mindset.
- 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.
