About the role
Base is hiring an Electrical Engineering Lead to set the technical direction for every electrical system we build: inverters, battery management systems, and microgrid interconnect devices. You've taken power electronics from napkin sketch to high-volume production and field deployment, and now you want to build the team that does it next. You'll lead engineers and still be the best debugger in the lab. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- BSEE or higher with a power electronics focus
- Transient thermal simulation in MATLAB or Python
- Embedded systems, microcontrollers, and Python for test automation and data analysis
- CAN, LIN, or Ethernet
- Designing products for UL, CSA, and IEC certification
- High-volume manufacturing and DFM/DFT
