About the role
- That vertical integration is our advantage, and it means a single missing part can stop production.
- This includes sourcing, planning, and getting it to the line on time.
- Please note: Base is a startup, which means priorities shift and evolve quickly.
Responsibilities
- Own day-to-day material planning for assigned parts: run MRP, net demand against on-hand, on-order, and in-transit inventory, and keep purchase orders aligned to the build plan.
- Support material readiness for engineering changes and new parts - phasing new material in and clearing old material out.
- Build and document one lasting improvement to how the team plans - a dashboard, a model, or an automated report - and hand it off.
- Global Supply Management owns every part that goes into a Base battery and its associated systems.
- Material planning is where that pressure lands: the team decides what to buy, when, and how much, and builds the systems that make those calls repeatable.
- Base designs its own hardware, builds it in its own factory, installs it at homes, and sells the power. That vertical integration is our advantage, and it means a single missing part can stop production.
- You will be given parts to own, suppliers to talk to, and a production schedule that depends on you.
Requirements
- Working toward a degree in supply chain, industrial engineering, operations, mechanical engineering, business, or another quantitative field - or on a comparable path.
Nice to have
- Strong spreadsheet skills and comfort working with large, messy datasets.
- SQL, Python, or scripting is a plus.
- Genuine interest in how physical products get built.
Benefits
- Dig into planning data: lead times, safety stock, order quantities, and supplier delivery performance.
Company info
- 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.
- We are ramping in-house manufacturing of our own battery product while qualifying second sources for critical components, which means the plan changes often and the cost of being wrong is a stopped line.
- Material planning is where that pressure lands:
- the team decides what to buy, when, and how much, and builds the systems that make those calls repeatable.
- 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.
- First Principles Thinking:
- Question assumptions.
- Principles > rules.
