Embedded Software Engineer

Preferred

• Experience reading hardware schematics and datasheets to guide firmware design and integration.
• Experience with the embedded Linux ecosystem, including kernel configuration, driver development, and device update mechanisms.
• Familiarity with modern processor architectures (ARM, RISC-V) and trade-offs in selecting platforms for embedded systems.
• Experience developing and debugging software on custom hardware.
• Working knowledge of power electronics or energy systems.
• Familiarity with safety and regulatory certification processes (UL1998, UL1741, UL1547).
• America's power grid is failing—electricity costs have risen even as generation gets cheaper, and blackouts are becoming more common. We're building the software that fixes it. Our team owns the entire stack: firmware that controls batteries in thousands of homes, trading algorithms that buy and sell power in real-time markets, distributed commanding systems that orchestrate a growing fleet as a single grid asset, factory software for our Austin manufacturing line, and the product experience that makes it all invisible to homeowners. If you want to write code that physically moves electrons, ships hardware, and reshapes critical infrastructure, this is the job.
• Please note: Base is a startup, which means priorities shift and evolve quickly. Your role may expand or change based on the needs of the business at any given time, so the responsibilities listed may not be exhaustive.
