About the role

We are seeking a highly analytical and hands-on Manufacturing Technician to elevate our factory operations.
Unlike standard assembly roles, you are the first responder to complex process bottlenecks and quality drops.
You are the true owner of the process flow.

Core Repair & Rework: Perform complex core repairs, teardowns, and intricate rework on non-conforming product that falls outside of standard production capabilities.
You will utilize our Manufacturing Execution System (MES) heavily during this process to track parts, manage material routing, and accurately log component swaps.
you identify the root cause and implement permanent, scalable fixes to the manufacturing process.
Process & Station Improvement: Partner with Manufacturing Engineers and Supervisors to redesign and optimize station layouts for maximum efficiency.
You take a highly hands-on approach to floor operations, which includes designing, assembling, and building out custom racking, flow racks, and specialized workstations.
Production Support: Actively assist Production Associates and Leads in building product. You jump onto the line to relieve bottlenecks, guide the team through complex assemblies, and ensure production targets are hit without sacrificing quality.

Deep understanding of root cause analysis methodologies (e.g., 5 Whys, Fishbone, 8D) and a proven ability to diagnose complex assembly faults.
Ability to stand/walk for 12-hour shifts, kneel, bend, and safely lift up to 50 lbs.
System Literacy: Hands-on proficiency in navigating and utilizing Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) to track parts and manage process flows.
Attention to Detail: You can seamlessly read technical manuals, wiring diagrams, schematics, and work instructions.

The "Base Pace": A strong work ethic and the ability to maintain high energy and urgency in a fast-growing, evolving environment.

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.
The Production team at Base exists to turn advanced energy R&D into a tangible reality.
As we open multiple factories and grow our team exponentially, our Manufacturing Technicians act as the heartbeat of our operations.
You are the owners of the process flow, responsible for driving manufacturing excellence and resolving complex build anomalies.
While our production associates execute the standard assembly, you manage the health of the process itself-analyzing data to identify bottlenecks, performing deep-dive root cause analyses on non-conforming product, executing intricate core repairs, and refining assembly parameters to ensure our First Pass Yield (FPY) and cycle times scale relentlessly.
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.
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.
