<h2>About Base</h2>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.<h2>About the Role</h2>Base is looking for a Deployments Engineer to sit at the critical intersection of field operations and systems engineering — architecting how we evaluate, approve, and deploy hardware to new sites at scale. This role is the driving force behind scaling our site survey review process and defining the configuration standards that ensure every deployment is consistent, safe, and efficient.What You'll Do<ul style=""><li>Act as the technical gatekeeper for hardware and layout configurations, defining and enforcing the requirements that determine whether a site is approved for deployment</li><li>Determine, document, and maintain strict review criteria for incoming site surveys to ensure consistency, safety, and operational efficiency as volume grows</li><li>Analyze field data and install outcomes using SQL and analytics tools to identify bottlenecks, measure process effectiveness, and drive continuous improvement in deployment operations</li><li>Build internal dashboards (e.g., using Python, JavaScript, Retool, or similar platforms) to provide real-time visibility into the site survey pipeline and key operational metrics</li><li>Partner closely with Field Operations, Hardware Engineering, and Software teams to translate physical deployment pain points into engineering solutions and technical requirements</li><li>Develop and maintain documentation for review criteria, internal tools, configuration standards, and operational processes</li><li>Design, build, and maintain the internal tools and automated workflows required to scale site survey reviews and operationalize data ingestion across systems</li></ul>What You'll Bring<ul style=""><li>Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Operations Research, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience)</li><li>3+ years of experience in deployment engineering, field operations, data science, systems engineering, or a related discipline</li><li>Proven track record of building internal tools, manipulating data, or developing scalable operational processes from the ground up</li><li>Comfortable with SQL or similar database query languages; ability to write complex queries to audit, extract, and analyze deployment and survey data</li><li>Experience evaluating physical infrastructure, assessing site conditions, or managing hardware configurations</li><li>A strong data-driven mindset with the ability to define KPIs and operational metrics from scratch and transform data into actionable improvements</li><li>Proficiency in at least one scripting language (e.g., Python, JavaScript) for tool development and workflow automation</li><li>Excellent communication skills with a proven ability to lead cross-functional initiatives between field technicians and core engineering teams.</li><li>Experience with business intelligence or data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Looker, Metabase, Retool, Grafana)</li></ul>About the TeamThe Deployments team is responsible for getting every Base battery system from contract to operation — reliably, safely, and at increasing speed.

This team exists to build the tools, data systems, and operational workflows that turn a manual, high-touch deployment process into one that scales globally without sacrificing quality.
