About the Role
Base designs its own hardware, builds it in its own factory, installs it at homes, and sells the power. As a GSM Intern, you will own sourcing for assigned parts, run the RFQ process end to end, and negotiate cost and terms directly with suppliers. This role requires someone who thinks in systems, is comfortable acting on incomplete information, and likes building durable, repeatable sourcing processes.
Responsibilities
- Own sourcing for a set of assigned parts: build and run RFQs, compare supplier quotes on cost, lead time, and capacity, and make the call on award.
- Negotiate price, payment terms, and lead time directly with suppliers, and track savings against the prior baseline.
- Build supplier cost models to determine fair quotes.
- Support qualification of new suppliers and second sources for critical components by gathering quotes, samples, and capability data.
- Track supplier performance (cost, delivery, and quality) and flag risks before they impact the production line.
Requirements
- Working toward a degree in supply chain, industrial engineering, operations, mechanical engineering, business, or another quantitative field, or on a comparable path.
- Strong spreadsheet skills and comfort working with large, messy datasets.
- Genuine interest in how physical products get built.
- Clear, direct written communication skills for RFQs, quote comparisons, and escalations.
- Bias to action and follow-through.
- Available to work in person in Austin, TX for the duration of the internship.
