Embedded Software Engineer, Microcontrollers

Preferred

• The Embedded MCU team owns the firmware closest to Base's hardware: the software running on the microcontrollers inside our batteries, inverters, and disconnect systems. We bring up every new board, write the control and protection logic that keeps our power hardware safe and responsive, and define the interfaces between that hardware and the rest of Base's software. As our hardware portfolio grows, we're building reusable firmware that makes each new product faster to bring up and more reliable in the field. We work side by side with hardware and power electronics engineers, in the lab and on the bench. If you want to write firmware that controls real power hardware and see it deployed at speed across a growing fleet, this is the team.
• 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.
• 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.
