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 are looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer to lead mechanical design for Base's high power residential inverter. You'll own key components, review others, and solve cross-functional design challenges as they come up.

What You'll Do
  • Own the delivery of the best high power residential grid tied inverter.
  • Own mechanical design of some components, check the mechanical design of others.
  • Drive solutions to design problems, be the glue that fills the cracks between designers.
What You'll Bring
  • 5+ years expertise owning mechanical design for grid tied or similar power converters.
  • Extremely strong thermal fundamentals, including modeling (1D, transient / steady state, FEA/CFD).
  • Experience designing power electronics mechanical components such as magnetics, capacitors banks, etc.
  • Experience designing heat transfer strategies of various types.
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.
