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.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING - 3+ years of hardware program management or hardware engineering. - You've personally carried a physical product from prototype to volume production, thousands of units or more, not a pilot run. - You're technical enough to arbitrate. You can read a schematic and a mechanical drawing, understand the trade-off, a…
