Hardware Systems Integration Engineer

Base is hiring a Hardware Systems Integration Engineer to make our batteries, inverters, and microgrid interconnect devices work as one system. You’ll own the system architecture and schematics across those components, integrate the hardware with firmware and controls, and test the full system until it’s ready for homes., * Integrate BMS, inverter, and microgrid interconnect hardware into one residential energy system.

• Own system architecture and electrical schematics across components.
• Test, validate, and debug integrated systems, from the bench to full-system setups.
• Work with firmware and controls engineers on hardware/software integration and control algorithms.
• Support certification by making sure the integrated system meets UL and IEEE requirements., * Operate at Base Pace: Focus on what matters, act quickly, and learn by doing.
• Give & Get Feedback: Be direct, be humble, and maintain a growth mindset.
• Everyone’s an Owner: Follow through on commitments and own results.
• Strong Opinions, Loosely Held: Drive clarity and make calls with imperfect information.

• Fun & Optimism Coexist with Grit: Collaboration and celebration coincide with the intensity of building real things.

• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• 5+ years of hardware development, with heavy system integration work.
• Strong fundamentals: circuit analysis, analog and digital electronics, and high-voltage design.
• Power electronics: DC-DC and DC-AC converters, inverters, and grid-tie systems.
• Hands-on C/C++ or Python and protocols like CAN or Modbus.
• Comfort with test equipment and lab debugging.

Preferred Skills

• Li-ion or LFP battery systems: BMS design, charging, and safety systems.
• PCB design in Altium or KiCad, and simulation in LTspice or MATLAB/Simulink.
• UL 1741, IEEE 1547, and the NEC.
• Residential energy, solar, or smart home integration.
• Product certification and regulatory approvals.
