About the Role

Base is seeking a senior-level electronics design engineer to lead the electrical architecture of energy storage systems, including inverters, batteries, and interconnect devices, from concept to high-volume manufacturing. This foundational leadership role requires a deep understanding of power electronics and distributed ECU system design, with the ability to guide products from inception to field deployment and lead a team in this process. The ideal candidate is a builder comfortable with both hands-on debugging and setting technical direction for the electrical platform.

Responsibilities

  • Set the electrical architecture and technical direction for Base's full product line, including inverters, battery management systems, and microgrid interconnect devices.
  • Own specifications, topology selection, schematic capture, PCB layout strategy, board bring-up, validation, and reliability testing.
  • Build, mentor, and lead a team of electrical engineers, setting high standards for design rigor, validation methodology, and documentation.
  • Drive LV embedded systems and power converter design and validation across the product portfolio, including inverter power stages, battery pack architectures, and BMS.
  • Collaborate with firmware, mechanical, test, reliability, and manufacturing teams to move products from prototype to high-volume production.
  • Own production end of line testers.
  • Debug and resolve complex system-level electrical issues across power, control, and communication domains.
  • Champion continuous product improvement by driving design iterations informed by field data, manufacturing feedback, and evolving performance targets.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of experience in electrical system design, with significant time spent on systems like energy storage, inverters, EV charging, motor drives, or similar high-power applications.
  • Demonstrated experience taking complex electrical products from initial architecture through production ramp and field deployment, ideally at scale.
  • Strong command of PCB design (Altium preferred) and hands-on bring-up skills.
  • Ability to write and run a transient thermal simulation in MATLAB or Python.
  • Familiarity with embedded systems, microcontrollers and their peripherals, and scripting (Python or similar) for test automation and data analysis.
  • Working knowledge of control theory as applied to power conversion—loop compensation, sensor bandwidth, filtering, and stability.
  • Experience with automotive or industrial communication protocols (CAN, LIN, Ethernet).
  • Proficiency with lab equipment including oscilloscopes, power analyzers, function generators, and programmable power supplies.
  • A track record of leading or mentoring engineers, with a desire to build and grow a high-performing team.
  • Experience designing products for UL/CSA/IEC certification and regulatory compliance.
  • Familiarity with electric motor design, thermal simulation, or mechanical integration.
  • Experience in high-volume manufacturing environments and DFM/DFT optimization.
