Manufacturing Engineering Intern
ABOUT BASE
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.
ABOUT THE ROLE
As a Manufacturing Engineering Intern, you’ll get hands-on experience designing and standing up the processes that make our products real. You’ll work alongside experienced engineers and operators in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment, supporting everything from early prototype builds to production-scale deployment. You’ll learn by doing - and what you do will directly impact how we deliver affordable energy at scale.
What You’ll Do
- Collaborate with engineers to design and refine processes, fixtures, and equipment for assembling battery and inverter systems.
- Participate in hands-on prototyping and pilot builds, helping debug issues and improve manufacturability.
- Support factory line layout and workstation design to improve flow, ergonomics, and efficiency.
- Help document assembly processes, write work instructions, and support technician training.
- Analyze data from prototype and production runs to identify bottlenecks and opportunities for process improvement.
- Contribute to design reviews with a focus on manufacturability and scalability.
What You’ll Bring
- Current junior or senior in an undergraduate program, or a graduate student, in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical field.
- Strong understanding of mechanical or manufacturing engineering fundamentals.
- Passion for hands-on problem solving and building processes that scale.
- Familiarity with CAD tools (e.g., SolidWorks, CATIA, or AutoCAD) is a plus.
- Exposure to manufacturing processes, automation, or robot...
