Validation Technician

Base Power Company • Austin, TX

10d • Onsite

About The Position

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.

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.

Requirements

• 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
• Comfort with power tools and fabrication equipment of all kinds
• A team-first mentality and goal-oriented drive: you take on what’s needed and speak up about priorities rather than talking poorly about past teams
• 1-3 years in electrical work, fabrication, motorsports, aerospace, or a similar hands-on technical role. Apprenticeships and trade training count

Responsibilities

• 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
