Base is America’s next-generation power company. 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.
What You’ll Do
Maintain accurate inventory to support manufacturing, service, and distribution operations.
Support daily warehouse operations, including manufacturing support, cycle counts, inventory control, and material organization.
Perform physical recovery, staging, and initial processing of high-value and time-sensitive product hardware.
Execute hands-on disassembly, inspection, and safe handling of sensitive, hazardous, or large assemblies using precision tools and machinery (e.g., power tools, forklifts, electric pallet jacks, specialized recovery equipment).
Develop and maintain detailed procedures, specifications, and test instructions for recovery, triage, and initial refurbishment processes.
Move and track product through the recovery workflow by scanning items to various warehouse locations.
Ensure accurate logging and tracking of recovered components and critical data using CRM, ERP, and asset management systems.
Manage inventory, storage, and timely return of defective or recovered parts for engineering investigation.
Coordinate with service technicians, engineers, logistics partners, and vendors to ensure efficient and cost-effective recovery logistics.
Conduct initial audits and diagnostic troubleshooting to assess hardware condition and validate repair or return orders against documentation.
Support root cause analysis (RCA) efforts by providing accurate documentation and initial findings to design and quality engineering teams.
Identify and implement process improvements to enhance safety, speed, accuracy, and efficiency of inventory and recovery operations.
Ensure strict compliance with environmental, safety, and regulatory requirements (including hazardous materials handling).
Act as a technical escalation point for complex recovery challenges and field incidents.
Collaborate closely with recovery, design, and manufacturing engineers to provide actionable feedback from field and inventory data.
What You’ll Bring
Minimum of 3+ years of experience in inventory control; experience in high-volume operations is strongly preferred.
Experience using inventory control systems or ERPs such as SAP, WARP, MOS/MES, NetSuite, or Odoo (preferred).
Strong computer literacy, including intermediate Excel skills, Google Docs, and data analysis capabilities.
High attention to detail with a strong analytical and problem-solving mindset.
Ability to investigate inventory discrepancies and drive issues to resolution.
Ability to work independently, manage shifting priorities in a fast-paced environment, and collaborate cross-functionally.
Ability to lift up to 75+ lbs and obtain forklift or mobile equipment certification within a defined timeframe.
Bachelor’s degree in business, supply chain, engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience (preferred).
Familiarity with bills of materials (BOMs), manufacturing parts, and production environments (preferred).
Experience with continuous improvement initiatives, root cause analysis, lean manufacturing, or warehouse optimization (value-add).
Experience managing cycle count programs and performing detailed variance reconciliation (value-add).
