Mechanical Design Engineer
Base Power Company
About Base 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. About the Role We are seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer to design residential and commercial energy products. This person owns mechanical components and assemblies from concept through production-designing reliable, high-performance, manufacturable hardware for battery energy storage systems and related consumer/industrial products. What You'll Do
- Mechanical Design & Development: Own the design, development, and optimization of mechanical components and assemblies for residential battery systems and related hardware.
- CAD & Prototyping: Create detailed 3D models and prototypes using CATIA 3DX. Produce manufacturing drawings with proper GD&T and tolerance stacks.
- Engineering Analysis: Perform thermal, stress, and structural analysis-hand calcs and simulation-to validate performance, safety, and reliability.
- Material Selection & Manufacturing: Select materials based on performance, cost, and manufacturability. Work with suppliers and manufacturers to hold quality and production standards.
- Cross-Domain Integration: Work with electrical engineers to integrate mechanical design with batteries, wiring, and enclosures for reliable, safe performance.
- Design for Manufacturability: Apply DFM to make designs cost-effective and easy to build at volume-accounting for tooling, processes, and assembly.
- Testing & Validation: Create test plans, set up tests, and analyze results to confirm products meet standards and requirements.
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
- 3+ years in mechanical design for consumer or industrial hardware where performance is critical to customer satisfaction or safety-e.g., cars, laptops, power tools.
- Proficiency in CAD (3D and 2D) and statistical tolerance analysis.
- Hands-on experience with prototyping, testing, and manufacturing, including 3D printing and CNC machining.
- Working knowledge of materials science-how materials behave under thermal and mechanical loads, and how to select them for the application.
- Understanding of DFM and the ability to collaborate with manufacturing to ensure designs can be produced efficiently.
- Experience with product lifecycle management from concept through production-part release, documentation, sustaining, and obsolescence.
- Strong communication and documentation skills, able to present technical concepts to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Experience designing enclosures or structural assemblies for battery, power-electronics, or other thermally and electrically demanding systems.
- Experience with statistical tolerance analysis on high-volume assemblies.
- Familiarity with safety standards relevant to energy storage or electromechanical products.
- First Principles Thinking: Question assumptions. Principles > rules.
- Operate at Base Pace: Focus on what matters, act quickly, and learn by doing.
- Give & Get Feedback: Be direct, be humble, and maintain a growth mindset.
- Everyone's an Owner: Follow through on commitments and own results.
- Strong Opinions, Loosely Held: Drive clarity and make calls with imperfect information.
- Committed 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.
- Fun & Optimism Coexist with Grit: Collaboration and celebration coincide with the intensity of building real things.
