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 seeking a highly motivated and organized Hardware Technical Program Management (TPM) Intern to join our Hardware team. This role is critical in supporting our engineering builds by ensuring the timely and accurate management and tracking of hardware parts and materials, as well as helping to keep the build process running smoothly. As an intern, you will contribute directly to the efficiency and success of our hardware development cycles, working closely with engineers and cross-functional teams.

What You’ll Do

• Manage and track the inventory of hardware parts and materials required for various engineering builds.

• Track build issues and help unblock problems, acting as a critical liaison between engineering and external teams.

• Coordinate with the Hardware Engineering and Procurement teams to ensure parts are ordered and delivered on schedule to meet build timelines.

• Implement and maintain a systematic tracking process for all components, from initial order through to deployment in the build.

• Identify and flag potential material shortages or delays, proactively communicating risks to the engineering team.

• Support continuous improvement efforts for the parts management and inventory control processes to increase efficiency.

What You'll Bring

• Hands-on experience bringing next-gen battery into production.

• Strong organizational and interpersonal skills to coordinate across multiple teams and stakeholders.

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.

• Act Like an Owner: Be resourceful, mindful of impact, and committed to the business.
