Manufacturing Technician

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.

We are seeking a highly analytical and hands-on Manufacturing Technician to elevate our factory operations. Unlike standard assembly roles, you are the first responder to complex process bottlenecks and quality drops. You will diagnose assembly deviations, perform intricate core repairs on the product, and analyze data to identify exactly where and why the line is slowing down.

The Production team at Base exists to turn advanced energy R&D into a tangible reality. As we open multiple factories and grow our team exponentially, our Manufacturing Technicians act as the heartbeat of our operations. You are the owners of the process flow, responsible for driving manufacturing excellence and resolving complex build anomalies. While our production associates execute the standard assembly, you manage the health of the process itself—analyzing data to identify bottlenecks, performing deep-dive root cause analyses on non-conforming product, executing intricate core repairs, and refining assembly parameters to ensure our First Pass Yield (FPY) and cycle times scale relentlessly.

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.

• 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.
