The posting

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 ROLE

We’re looking for an Electrical Test Technician to build the test infrastructure that lets Base ship new hardware and software with confidence. You’ll turn engineering designs into physical test benches and fixtures - from low-voltage signal harnesses to 240/480V power circuits - built to run around the clock.

As Base’s fleet grows, we need more test capacity, fast. Every station you build should be documented well enough that the next one goes up in days, not weeks - no re-engineering the fixture from scratch each time. You’ll work closely with engineering to know what to build, when to fabricate in-house, and when to send a part out.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

- Build and wire test benches and fixtures, from signal-level harnesses to 240/480V power circuits

- Document every build so a station can be replicated quickly as we add capacity

- Design and fabricate enclosures, mounting brackets, and racking systems built to run continuously, 24/7

- Decide when to fabricate a part in-house and when to send it out, and make sure it’s built right either way

- Keep test systems running and ready for engineering and automated testing, 24/7

- Follow wiring schematics and match workmanship, safety, and inspection standards to the job - low-voltage signal work and 240/480V power work each have their own

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

- Hands-on experience wiring harnesses: cutting, stripping, labeling, and documenting the work so someone else can build it the same way

- Experience building both a low-voltage signal harness from a schematic and a 240/480V power circuit

- Experience designing or fabricating enclosures, mounting brackets, or racking systems

- Comfort with power tools and fabrication equipment of all kinds

- A team-first mentality and goal-oriented drive: you take on what’s needed and speak up about priorities rather than talking poorly about past teams

- 1-3 years in electrical work, fabrication, motorsports, aerospace, or a similar hands-on technical role. Apprenticeships and trade training count

ABOUT THE TEAM

Base's Systems Integration team makes sure our batteries, inverters, and power systems work together as one reliable product in the real world. We own the development and test infrastructure the rest of engineering builds on: hardware-in-the-loop rigs, test benches and fixtures wired from signal-level harnesses to 240/480V power, and the software, CI pipelines, and data tools that run tests on them around the clock. Our job is to catch hardware and firmware issues before they reach a member's home, reproduce the ones that slip through in the lab, and give engineers the confidence to ship to the fleet fast. As the fleet grows, so does the need for test capacity, and the stations, tools, and tests this team builds set the pace for how quickly Base can ship new products.

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.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
