Base Power Validation Technician at Base Power builds and wires test benches and fixtures for hardware and software validation. The role involves documenting builds for replication and maintaining test systems running 24/7.
Responsibilities
We’re looking for a Validation Technician to build the test infrastructure that lets Base ship new hardware and software with confidence. You’ll turn engineering designs into physical test benches and fixtures - from low-voltage signal harnesses to 240/480V power circuits - built to run around the clock.
As Base’s fleet grows, we need more test capacity, fast. Every station you build should be documented well enough that the next one goes up in days, not weeks - no re-engineering the fixture from scratch each time. You’ll work closely with engineering to know what to build, when to fabricate in-house, and when to send a part out.
Build and wire test benches and fixtures, from signal-level harnesses to 240/480V power circuits
Document every build so a station can be replicated quickly as we add capacity
Design and fabricate enclosures, mounting brackets, and racking systems built to run continuously, 24/7
Decide when to fabricate a part in-house and when to send it out, and make sure it’s built right either way
Keep test systems running and ready for engineering and automated testing, 24/7
Follow wiring schematics and match workmanship, safety, and inspection standards to the job - low-voltage signal work and 240/480V power work each have their own
What You'll Bring
Hands-on experience wiring harnesses: cutting, stripping, labeling, and documenting the work so someone else can build it the same way
Experience building both a low-voltage signal harness from a schematic and a 240/480V power circuit
Experience designing or fabricating enclosures, mounting brackets, or racking systems
Qualification
Hands-on experience wiring harnesses1-3 years in electrical work
