About the Role

We are looking for an Electrical Engineer with experience designing and validating complex electrical systems. You will be responsible for end-to-end design of Base's energy storage systems-including inverters, batteries, and interconnect devices-through manufacturing and field deployment.

This role is ideal for someone who's taken systems from schematic to production and knows how to debug and validate at the board and system level. You should be comfortable working with high voltage designs, embedded systems, and hardware validation in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. most reliable, cost efficient, high performance batteries and inverters in the world

What You'll Do
  • End-to-end ownership of energy storage systems (inverter, battery, Microgrid interconnect device) designs including specifications, architecture, schematic capture, PCB layout, board bring up, validation, and overseeing reliability and functional testing.
  • Collaboration with cross functional teams (mechanical, firmware, test, reliability etc.) to see products through high volume manufacturing.
  • Design and execute high voltage and high current validation of inverter, battery and BMS designs.
  • Debug complex component interactions at the system level.


What You'll Bring
  • Degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline, or equivalent experience.
  • Digital and analog circuit design, including high voltage circuits or power supply design.
  • Printed circuit board design (Altium) and initial bring-up: debugging, soldering, wiring, mechanical assembly.
  • Familiarity with embedded firmware, microcontrollers and their peripherals, python scripting or similar.
  • Familiarity with lab equipment including oscilloscopes, function generators, power supplies.
  • Experience with power semiconductors (MOSFETs, IGBTs).
  • Knowledge of electric motors, thermal design, and/or mechanical design.
  • Experience with automotive networking (CAN, LIN, Ethernet).
  • Basic control theory, including importance of sensor bandwidths, filtering.


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.
