Lead the electrical architecture for Base's inverters, battery management systems, and microgrid interconnect devices, and hire and manage a team of electrical engineers. Work spans power converter, battery pack, BMS, and embedded design, plus end-of-line production testers. Requires 7+ years designing high-power electrical systems and taking products to production.
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.
Base is hiring an Electrical Engineering Lead to set the technical direction for every electrical system we build: inverters, battery management systems, and microgrid interconnect devices. You've taken power electronics from napkin sketch to high-volume production and field deployment, and now you want to build the team that does it next. You'll lead engineers and still be the best debugger in the lab.
Our hardware team designs, validates, and ships the batteries, inverters, and grid interconnect devices inside every Base home. We keep the hard parts in-house, from power electronics and firmware integration to mechanical and thermal design, and take each product from first prototype to high-volume production. 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.
