If you’re passionate about tackling one of the most critical challenges of our time, now is the time to join us. Together, we can usher in a new era of American energy abundance.

About The Role

As our Battery and Inverter Compliance Engineer, you will be instrumental in guiding Base through the complex regulatory landscape to achieve full certification and launch of our new battery and inverter. This is a critical, high-ownership role for someone with deep technical knowledge of regulatory standards and a strong drive to influence and navigate the compliance ecosystem.

You’ll work cross-functionally with hardware, firmware, and systems engineering teams, owning our relationships with testing labs and standards bodies and ensuring that every design decision maps to a compliant product path. You’ll be both a strategic advisor and a hands-on contributor—defining requirements, reviewing designs, managing certification test plans, and helping shape Base’s product compliance strategy for years to come.

Responsibilities

Own and lead Base’s relationships with standards bodies, utilities, and Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTLs), including UL and ETL. Define and communicate certification and compliance requirements to cross-functional engineering teams early in the design cycle. Interpret, clarify, and challenge implementation of relevant standards (e.g., UL 1741, UL 9540, UL 1973, UL 9540A, IEEE 1547) and ensure accurate application. Track regulatory changes and emerging standards that may impact Base’s product roadmap; advocate for Base’s interests in working groups and standards meetings. Review and approve hardware and system designs for regulatory compliance. Document compliance-related processes, findings, and gaps to ensure audit readiness and knowledge transfer. Partner with firmware and controls teams to ensure software behavior supports compliance. Be the internal go-to expert for NEC (National Electrical Code) considerations across product development.

Required Skills / Qualifications

Proven experience taking at least one grid-tied battery/inverter system from concept through full regulatory certification. Deep familiarity with UL 1741, UL 9540, UL 9540A, UL 1973, and IEEE 1547—ideally with several of these standards committed to memory. In-depth understanding of National Electrical Code (NEC) as it applies to energy storage systems and distributed energy resources. Strong technical communication skills–you can translate complex regulatory language into actionable engineering requirements. Confident navigating ambiguity and pushing back on overly conservative interpretations of standards when appropriate. Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field.
