About Base

Base is building the foundation of American power. The grid is the largest, most complex machine in the world. Yet it’s aging, struggling to keep up with today’s demand, and is unprepared for our electrified future.

Base is modernizing the grid as the first engineering-led, technology-driven power company. We’re deploying a nationwide network of distributed batteries that strengthens critical infrastructure and saves Americans money.

Our team of engineers, operators, creatives, technicians, and electricians design and deploy systems at speed. If you want to tackle the problem that will define this century and shape the future of American energy, now is the time. Join us.

About the Role

We are looking for a Technical Program Manager to drive the planning and delivery of Base’s hardware and firmware products. You’ll own program schedules across multiple projects and make sure teams stay aligned and unblocked.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in the details, knows how to manage risk, and has experience delivering complex, high-volume products to market.

What You'll Do

• Own creation, upkeep, and publishing of program schedules, across multiple projects, both internal and external.
• Hold accountability of overall product delivery and timing.
• Coordinate internal and external engineering work to uncover critical path, and escalate schedule risk and blocks.
• Keep lines of communication flowing between company groups.

What You'll Bring

• 3 years experience bringing high volume electromechanical products with firmware to market.
• Experience driving product design against a compliance requirement, i.e. UL, IEEE, or similar homologation.
• Mastery of all typical office tools, willing to make a gantt chart in any program on earth.
• Strong technical background in any engineering or physics discipline.

Our Values

We’re building a winning culture and we’re looking for people who are up for the challenge. Here’s what we expect from day one:

• In-Person Only: We work full-time in the office. No hybrid. No remote.
• Challenge the Status Quo: Question assumptions. Fix broken systems. Principles > rules.
• Move Fast: Focus on what matters, act quickly, and learn by doing.
• Give & Get Feedback: Be direct, be humble. Challenge ideas–including your own.
• Own the Outcome: Take full responsibility. Deliver results. No excuses.
• Act Like an Owner: Be resourceful, mindful of impact, and committed to the business.
• Be Decisive: Drive clarity. Make bold calls with imperfect info.
• Bring the Intensity: This is not a 9-to-5. We're building something hard which requires real commitment.
