Job Description
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
Base is building a vertically-integrated residential energy company - hardware, software, and field operations all under one roof. As a Supply Chain Operations Intern, you’ll work directly with the teams standing up Factory 1 and scaling deployments across Texas. This is not a shadowing internship: you’ll own real problems that sit at the intersection of manufacturing, logistics, and software. You’ll help turn manual workflows into repeatable processes, improve how material moves from suppliers → factory → field, and build the tooling and analysis that lets us install batteries faster and more reliably.
What You’ll Do
Support sourcing and purchasing initiatives across key components, improving supply assurance, lead time reliability, cost, and quality
Partner closely with engineering and suppliers to hit build schedules while managing total cost of ownership
Help design material flow and warehouse processes for Factory 1 and field deployment operations
Tune planning parameters (min/max levels, reorder points, safety stock) and improve inventory accuracy and availability
Coordinate inbound and outbound logistics with 3PLs and carriers; troubleshoot shipment delays and drive resolution
Prepare shipment documentation and ensure compliance with operational and regulatory requirements
Analyze operational data and build simple tools, dashboards, or trackers that remove manual work and increase visibility across the supply chain
What You’ll Bring
Currently pursuing a degree in Supply Chain, Industrial/Systems Engineering, Operations, Business Analytics, Engineering Management, or similar
Comfort working cross-functionally with engineering, finance, legal, field operations, and software teams
Internship or project experience in operations, manufacturing, product, logistics, or business analytics (hands-on experience preferred)
Strong written and verbal communication; able to translate between technical and non-technical stakeholders
Proficiency with spreadsheets and collaboration tools (Excel/Google Sheets, Slack, docs, task trackers like Jira/Notion/Confluence)
Familiarity with SQL, data analysis, or dashboarding tools (e.g., Tableau/Looker/PowerBI) is a plus
Builder mindset - enjoys ambiguity, takes ownership, and is excited to make things work better, not just analyze them
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.
