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\nWhen hardware fails in the field, it comes back to you. You'll open it up, run the tests, and help engineers figure out exactly what broke and why. Your findings feed directly into design changes, firmware fixes, and line improvements on a product that's already deployed in thousands of homes.\nThis is hands-on work in a lab that moves fast. You'll build the tools and processes that make failure analysis faster and more reliable, and you'll be the person who keeps that lab running safely and well.\nWhat You’ll Do\nHardware Testing: Test field-returned hardware and assist engineers with root cause analysis to figure out why the hardware failed and how it can be improved.\n\nBuild and maintain tooling: Make improvements to processes and test equipment used to triage field returns. Own the process and make it better.\n\nSafety and Cleanliness of space: Ensure the lab environment is safe. Maintain and enforce a clean and organized workspace.\n\nProject Coordination: Help track testing throughput, results, and flag new quality issues to engineers. Ensure the engineering team has the necessary context they need to prioritize changes or process improvements in firmware, on the product, or on or the line.\n\nWhat You'll Bring\nHigh School diploma or equivalent required - prefer associates degree or higher in Engineering Technology, Industrial Technology, or a related field.\n\nExperience in an engineering or technical environment, providing hands-on support for design, testing, and assembly of equipment. Experience working with multimeters and power supplies is a must.\n\nStrong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple tasks.\n\nProficiency with office software (Microsoft Office Suite, Google Workspace) and basic IT troubleshooting.\n\nExperience with tools and equipment used in an engineering lab or workshop.\n\nGood communication skills, with the ability to work well with engineers, vendors, and other office staff.\n\nStrong attention to detail and a proactive approach to problem-solving and task management.\n\nCuriosity about how things work and a desire to deeply understand the hardware you are testing.\n\nAbout this Team\nThe Hardware Reliability and Test team ensures our equipment exceeds engineering and reliability standards through rigorous mechanical, electrical, and environmental testing at the component, sub-assembly, and system levels. When we find failure points, we leverage data-driven insights to identify root causes and provide actionable improvements and mitigations. We act as a tight feedback loop for the design team, accelerating product maturity and ensuring we deliver a stellar experience for our members.\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":4019,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"high_school","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Energy Storage","Smart Grid"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-08-22T20:00:25Z"},{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-05T10:48:59Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-09-15T15:38:07Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-10-03T06:30:13Z"}],"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":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":46,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.775,"p_room":0.6,"age_days":66,"expected_fill_days":82,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:late","crowd:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-28T05:59:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/base-power-company-field-reliability-technician","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/base-power-company-field-reliability-technician.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-29T01:36:28Z","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":2373,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-30T00:00:00Z"}},"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-field-reliability-technician"},{"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-field-reliability-technician"},{"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-field-reliability-technician"},{"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-field-reliability-technician\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbase-power-company-field-reliability-technician"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":95803}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"basepower.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":95803},"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.
