Machine Maintenance Technician

As a Maintenance Technician at Base, you'll play a hands-on role in ramping up our battery production lines - keeping the equipment running at full speed. You'll perform preventative maintenance, troubleshoot and repair mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic systems, and learn to interpret schematics and technical diagrams.

Along the way, you'll document work, track parts and supplies, and operate safely with hand and power tools in a fast-paced, high-growth factory environment. This is a chance to gain exposure to advanced automation and robotics while building the skills to grow your career in modern manufacturing.

The Maintenance team is the backbone that enables Base to scale battery production from prototype to thousands of units per year. Every hour of uptime you create directly translates to more batteries reaching customers and accelerating the energy transition. You'll be working on cutting-edge production lines where a single piece of equipment down can halt an entire manufacturing cell-making your ability to diagnose, repair, and prevent failures essential to Base's growth trajectory.

This team offers a rare opportunity to build deep technical expertise across mechanical, electrical, and automation systems while seeing the immediate impact of your work: batteries rolling off lines you kept running, production records you helped set, and skills you developed that will define the future of your manufacturing career.
