Power Electronics Engineer - Inverters & BMS Systems

Base Power Company; San Carlos (CA); On-site; USD 100,000 - 150,000; Full time

Job summary

Base is hiring an Electrical Engineer to design the power electronics inside our home batteries: inverters, battery management systems, and microgrid interconnect devices. You will own boards from schematic to production, bring them up on the bench, and validate them at high voltage and high current.

You'll work closely with mechanical, firmware, test, and reliability engineers to get designs into high-volume manufacturing. This is a hands-on role in a fast-growing startup environment.

Qualifications

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 1+ years of hands-on hardware design experience.
• Analog and digital circuit design, including high-voltage or power supply design.
• PCB design in Altium and hands-on bring-up: probing, soldering, wiring, and debugging.
• Comfort with oscilloscopes, power supplies, function generators, and electronic loads.
• Python or similar scripting for test and data analysis.

Responsibilities

• Own board designs end to end: specs, architecture, schematic capture, PCB layout, bring-up, and validation.
• Design and run high-voltage, high-current validation on inverter, battery, and BMS hardware.
• Debug complex interactions at the board and system level.
• Drive reliability and functional testing with the test and reliability teams.
• Take designs through DFM and into high-volume production with manufacturing.
