Manufacturing Associate

About Base

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.

About The Role

We are seeking motivated and detail-oriented Production Associates to launch our manufacturing team. In this role, you will be on the front line of building the future of energy, working directly on our production assembly lines to manufacture our cutting-edge battery storage systems.

You will be responsible for the mechanical assembly of products, precisely following work instructions, and ensuring every unit meets our high-quality standards. This is an exciting, hands-on, physically active role that requires reliability, efficiency, and a commitment to safety.

What You'll Do

• Operate production machinery and equipment safely while ensuring consistent output across all products.
• Assemble battery systems and sub-assemblies on a manufacturing production line, following detailed Bills of Materials (BOMs) and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
• Perform visual inspections of parts and finished units to identify defects or inconsistencies, ensuring products meet quality standards before moving to the next stage.
• Load and unload materials onto the production line and assist with kitting job kits and organizing components to support smooth workflow.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe workstation in accordance with 5S standards and comply with all safety requirements, including consistent use of required PPE.
• Identify opportunities to improve assembly processes and communicate suggestions to the broader team.
• Maintain flexibility to change shifts and work overtime as needed to support Base’s continued growth.
  
  

What You'll Bring

• Prior experience in manufacturing, assembly, construction, or a warehouse environment is preferred; experience using hand and power tools is a plus. A high school diploma or GED is required.
• Ability to stand or walk for the duration of a shift and lift 50–70 lbs, with comfort performing repetitive physical tasks such as stooping, reaching, squatting, kneeling, and crouching in a fast-paced environment.
• A strong sense of reliability and punctuality, with a work ethic that supports keeping the production line moving.
• Attention to detail and the ability to follow written and verbal instructions in English with precision.
• A collaborative, team-oriented mindset with a willingness to learn and adapt; success depends on every team member contributing to the line.
• A desire to grow professionally by learning new technologies and developing new skills at Base Power.
  
  

Our Values
