Full Job Description
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 At Base, we’re building the future of residential energy. Our unique battery, power inverter, and interconnection systems are designed from the ground up to deliver affordable, reliable, and resilient power to households that are underserved by today’s aging and overloaded electrical grid. Unlike conventional energy storage solutions that cost 5–10x more, our vertically integrated approach allows us to deliver larger, more powerful batteries at a fraction of the price. We’re combining innovative hardware, clever business models, and local manufacturing to get this product in the hands of real people–fast. As a Hardware Engineering Intern, you'll be hands-on with every phase of product development–from early prototyping to production support. You'll work alongside experienced engineers in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment, solving challenging problems in mechanical and electrical design for cutting-edge batteries, inverters, and microgrid interconnection devices. You’ll learn by doing–and what you do will ship. What You'll Do - Collaborate with senior engineers to design, simulate, build, and test electrical and mechanical systems. - Participate in hands-on prototyping, debugging, and iterative testing of early- and late-stage hardware. - Support both R&D and production efforts–from first breadboard to high-volume manufacturing. - Help diagnose and solve real-world performance, thermal, and integration issues. - Contribute to system documentation, test procedures, and design reviews. What You'll Bring - Current junior or senior in an undergraduate program
