Hardware Test Engineer
Base Power Company, Austin, TX
The role
Base is hiring a Hardware Test Engineer to find the limits of our hardware before the field does. You'll design and build test setups, automate them, run electrical, mechanical, and reliability campaigns, and turn the data into reports that drive design decisions.
The team
Our hardware reliability and test team breaks Base products before our members can. We run mechanical, electrical, environmental, and abuse testing from component to full system, track how the fleet holds up in the field, root-cause the failures that matter, and feed fixes straight back to design. Homeowners across the country rely on Base for whole-home backup and lower electricity bills. Our network of home batteries also helps keep the grid stable as demand climbs from AI, electrification, and extreme weather. We build in-house and expand at a speed and cost incumbents can't match, and this team makes that possible.
