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.\nAbout the Role\nBase is looking for a Deployment Engineer to support end-to-end operations for new hardware pilots. You will perform site evaluation, day-of coordination, installer support, and fleet monitoring for new launches; tracking every issue that shows up in the field to feed back to design engineering teams.\nThis isn't a typical engineering support role. You'll be the link between engineers, field crews, and deployment operations for an early-stage hardware development program, turning what we learn in the field into product decisions. You'll build expertise in how our technology gets designed, built, tested, and deployed at scale. It's a fit for someone equally comfortable diagnosing a battery issue in the field, writing up a defect that engineers will trust and act on, and reporting out on what this means for achieving program goals.\nWhat You’ll Do\nPlan new hardware launch programs, coordinating end-to-end Deployments activities through each phase of introduction (pilots, public rollout, and expansion).\n\nProvide real-time support for field crews during installs and service calls involving new or in-pilot hardware, troubleshooting in person or remotely via phone/Slack.\n\nBuild and monitor system health dashboards; troubleshoot live alerts.\n\nServe as the field's voice into hardware decisions: log defects, spot trends across installs and service calls, and push high-impact issues to the right engineering owner.\n\nPartner with hardware, firmware, and software engineering teams to validate fixes before they roll out fleet-wide.\n\nReport on hardware readiness and known issues to engineering and leadership.\n\nWrite and maintain rollout playbooks and hardware defect logs so lessons from one pilot don't get relearned on the next.\n\nWhat You'll Bring\nPreferred 1-4 years in a hardware-adjacent technical role (Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, New Product Introduction (NPI), System Engineering, Technical Program Management). Also open to upcoming engineering graduates with solid internship/co-op experience who are ready to learn fast and deliver results!\n\nComfort reading electrical and mechanical systems: you can look at a battery stack, inverter, or wiring diagram and reason about what's wrong.\n\nStrong documentation habits: defect logs, build records, and playbooks other people can use.\n\nA track record of writing up hardware and software issues that engineers trust and act on.\n\nExperience tracking a hardware product from prototype through production.\n\nA 4-year degree, or equivalent hands-on hardware or field experience.\n\nFamiliarity with tools like Grafana, Jira, or Retool (or the kind of person who picks them up fast).\n\nComfortable with ambiguity: pilots move fast, and priorities shift as new issues surface.\n\nTeam player who puts the mission first and communicates clearly under pressure.\n\nAbout the Team\nDeployments Engineering sits at the intersection of field electricians, engineering, and member experience, ensuring every install and service call runs smoothly, safely, and efficiently. Beyond live troubleshooting, the team plays a key role in identifying trends, improving deployment playbooks, and influencing product and operational decisions. This is a team built for people who enjoy fast-paced problem solving, cross-functional collaboration, and developing a full-stack understanding of hardware, software, and field operations.\nThe Deployments Product Launch team takes Base’s newest products from prototype and pilot into full-scale deployment: driving cross-functional operational readiness for new hardware products, tracking every issue that shows up in the field, and feeding learnings back to engineering teams. On this team, you will build real expertise in how our hardware gets designed, built, tested, and deployed at scale. We move quickly, stay close to the details, and work cross-functionally to keep deployments moving forward while building the foundation for long-term scale.\nPlease 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.\nOur Values\nFirst Principles Thinking: Question assumptions. Principles > rules.\n\nOperate at Base Pace: Focus on what matters, act quickly, and learn by doing.\n\nGive & Get Feedback: Be direct, be humble, and maintain a growth mindset.\n\nEveryone’s an Owner: Follow through on commitments and own results.\n\nStrong Opinions, Loosely Held: Drive clarity and make calls with imperfect information.\n\nCommitted to the Mission: Rebuilding the grid is a big challenge. We work hard because we care deeply about the impact we’re creating. We work in-person. It’s not a 9-to-5. We are all-in.\n\nFun & Optimism Coexist with Grit: Collaboration and celebration coincide with the intensity of building real things.\n\nDo the best work of your life at Base.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5320,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Corporate Events","Energy Storage","Smart Grid"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-07-15T20:52:30Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 12","filings_12m":12,"filings_prev_12m":4,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":137500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":1}],"liveness":{"score":27,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.603,"p_room":0.44,"age_days":107,"expected_fill_days":80,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:tail","crowd:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-31T05:58:55Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/base-power-company-deployment-engineer-product-launch","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/base-power-company-deployment-engineer-product-launch.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-01T00:12:16Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":377,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-02T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":5219},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=5219"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fbase-power-company-deployment-engineer-product-launch"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fbase-power-company-deployment-engineer-product-launch"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fbase-power-company-deployment-engineer-product-launch"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/base-power-company-deployment-engineer-product-launch\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbase-power-company-deployment-engineer-product-launch"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":17713}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"basepower.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":17713},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
