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.
Base is looking for an intern to join our Manufacturing Controls Engineering team as we build new manufacturing lines to produce battery backup systems. As an intern, you’ll get hands-on exposure to designing, testing, and troubleshooting the systems that power our manufacturing operations.
