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.
As a Battery Modeling Engineer, you’ll build the data and degradation models that tell us how our batteries age in the real world. You’ll combine software engineering, data science, and semi-empirical degradation modeling, turning telemetry from our fleet of deployed home batteries and data from cell-level testing into trusted datasets and models that predict capacity fade, resistance growth, and remaining useful life across the conditions our batteries actually see.
This is a hybrid role at the intersection of software, data science, and battery science. You’ll own degradation analytics end to end, from the pipelines and data models that make fleet and lab data trustworthy to the semi-empirical models and tools the rest of Base relies on, and you’ll help found and set up Base’s cell characterization lab. Your work will directly shape how we operate our fleet and plan for its long-term performance.
Base’s Modeling team owns how we understand the health and performance of our battery fleet. Every battery we deploy is a long-lived asset, and how it ages determines how we operate it, how it supports the grid, and how much value it creates for our members over its life. As the fleet grows across more homes, climates, and operating conditions, that question gets harder and more valuable to answer. This team gets to build Base’s degradation modeling capability from the ground up, from a new cell characterization lab to models running on fleet-scale telemetry, so we can predict how our batteries will age and make better decisions about every battery in the field.
Please note: Base is a startup, which means priorities shift and evolve quickly. Your role may expand or change based on the needs of the business at any given time, so the responsibilities listed may not be exhaustive.
Base is building the future of American power.
The grid is the largest, most complex machine in the world. But 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.
