Responsibilities

As a Battery Modeling Engineer, you’ll build the data and degradation models that tell us how our batteries age in the real world. You’ll combine software engineering, data science, and semi-empirical degradation modeling, turning telemetry from our fleet of deployed home batteries and data from cell-level testing into trusted datasets and models that predict capacity fade, resistance growth, and remaining useful life across the conditions our batteries actually see.
This is a hybrid role at the intersection of software, data science, and battery science. You’ll own degradation analytics end to end, from the pipelines and data models that make fleet and lab data trustworthy to the semi-empirical models and tools the rest of Base relies on, and you’ll help found and set up Base’s cell characterization lab. Your work will directly shape how we operate our fleet and plan for its long-term performance.
Build and validate semi-empirical degradation models (calendar and cycle aging, capacity fade, resistance growth) for the cells in our fleet.
Help found and set up Base’s cell characterization lab: define test plans, select equipment, and stand up the processes that generate reliable aging data.
Analyze fleet- and device-level data to understand how temperature, state of charge, and usage patterns drive degradation, and validate model predictions against real-world behavior.
Turn model outputs into tools and insights that engineering, fleet, and markets teams use to decide how our batteries are operated.
Write production-quality Python and SQL (or equivalent), with the tests, documentation, and monitoring that keep models trustworthy as the fleet grows and ages.
Track model history and communicate those changes effectively across the organization.
What You'll Bring
A background in Chemistry or Battery Physics or a related field such as electrochemistry, materials science, or chemical engineering.
PhD in physics modeling or battery chemistry preferred.
A world-class ownership mindset: you own outcomes, not just tasks.
