About the Role
Base is seeking a Manufacturing Engineer to contribute to the design and launch of manufacturing lines to produce our cutting edge battery storage systems. In this role you will work with cross functional teams throughout the lifecycle of the product to develop high quality and efficient manufacturing equipment and processes that will produce Base Power's battery storage products.
What You'll Do
Develop equipment, fixtures, and processes to support early-stage prototype builds and scale for high-volume production
Determine and procure necessary equipment for all manufacturing processes, collaborating with integrators to design and manufacture semi-auto to fully automated manufacturing equipment
Manage suppliers through specification, design, buyoff, and installation of manufacturing equipment
Design efficient production workstation layouts to enhance product flow, ergonomics, and efficiency while conducting process analysis, DOE, PFMEA, line balancing, and capacity modeling/simulation
Provide DFM (design for manufacturability) input to improve processes and yield outcomes
Create detailed manufacturing instructions and documentation to train technicians, implement new processes, and ensure smooth handoff to production operations
What You'll Bring
5+ years of experience as a hands-on Mechanical/Manufacturing/Design Engineer working on mechanical and/or electromechanical systems
Experience using 2D cad tools for conceptual line design (AutoCAD) and 3D design for mechanical equipment, fixturing, and tooling (SolidWorks or CATIA)
Experience with conveyance, workstation design, robotic systems, adhesive dispensing, DC fastening tools, or automated functional testing
Experience with GD&T and system stack up analysis
Experience creating technical specifications for automated manufacturing equipment
Experience providing Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Automation (DFA)
Degree in Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent experience
About the Team
Makers of the machines that power tomorrow. The Manufacturing Engineering team owns the interface between a proof of concept and a scalable, profitable product. Our team focuses on how a product can be built, defining the process technology and equipment solutions along the way. We are the feedback loop with the product design team to ensure designs are manufacturable both at cost and scale. The Manufacturing Engineering team owns every aspect of bringing the physical mechanisms of manufacturing a product into the factory.
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.
