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.
Base is looking for a Sourcing Intern to help build and manage supplier relationships, support product development and manufacturing, and contribute to our sourcing strategy. You’ll collaborate closely with engineering, manufacturing, and logistics teams to ensure the right suppliers, materials, and processes are in place to support our product roadmap. The role will primarily focus on general hardware manufacturing.
What you'd do
- Strong Excel and spreadsheet analysis skills.
- Excellent organizational and project management abilities.
- Clear written and verbal communication skills.
- A flexible, solutions-oriented mindset.
- 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.
- Committed to the Mission: Rebuilding the grid is a big challenge. We work hard because we care deeply about the impact we’re creating. We work in-person. It’s not a 9-to-5. We are all-in.
