Production Technician

About The Role

We are seeking a highly analytical and hands-on Manufacturing Technician to elevate our factory operations. Unlike standard assembly roles, you are the first responder to complex process bottlenecks and quality drops. You will diagnose assembly deviations, perform intricate core repairs on the product, and analyze data to identify exactly where and why the line is slowing down. You are the true owner of the process flow. You ensure that non-conforming materials are contained, root causes are identified and eliminated, and continuous improvements are actively implemented on the line so the "Base Pace" is maintained.

What You’ll Do

• Core Repair & Rework: Perform complex core repairs, teardowns, and intricate rework on non-conforming product that falls outside of standard production capabilities. Utilize our Manufacturing Execution System (MES) heavily during this process to track parts, manage material routing, and accurately log component swaps.
• Root Cause Analysis: Investigate process deviations, defect spikes, and quality issues. Identify the root cause and implement permanent, scalable fixes to the manufacturing process.
• Process & Station Improvement: Partner with Manufacturing Engineers and Supervisors to redesign and optimize station layouts for maximum efficiency. Take a highly hands-on approach to floor operations, including designing, assembling, and building out custom racking, flow racks, and specialized workstations.
• Production Support: Actively assist Production Associates and Leads in building product. Jump onto the line to relieve bottlenecks, guide the team through complex assemblies, and ensure production targets are hit without sacrificing quality.
• Technical Partnership: Act as the bridge between the production floor and the engineering teams, providing critical frontline feedback to ensure process changes are practical and scalable.

About The Team

The Production team at Base exists to turn advanced energy R&D into a tangible reality. As we open multiple factories and grow our team exponentially, our Manufacturing Technicians act as the heartbeat of our operations. You are the owners of the process flow, responsible for driving manufacturing excellence and resolving complex build anomalies. While our production associates execute the standard assembly, you manage the health of the process itself—analyzing data to identify bottlenecks, performing deep-dive root cause analyses on non-conforming product, executing intricate core repairs, and refining assembly parameters to ensure our First Pass Yield (FPY) and cycle times scale relentlessly.

Our Values

• 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.
• Fun & Optimism Coexist with Grit: Collaboration and celebration coincide with the intensity of building real things. Do the best work of your life at Base.
