Über diese Supply Chain Intern Stelle bei Base Power Company
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
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.
About The Team
Our supply chain team is responsible for sourcing components, managing manufacturing operations, and building the vendor relationships needed to produce and deliver the lowest-cost, highest-quality home battery systems at scale. That means optimizing landed costs through global sourcing, ramping domestic manufacturing, and developing supplier partnerships that hold up under pressure.
The work has direct impact - homeowners across the country rely on Base for whole-home backup and below-market electricity rates, while our aggregated storage supports grid stability at a moment when demand is accelerating from AI infrastructure, electrification, and extreme weather. We're building the supply foundation to keep pace, manufacturing in-house and expanding nationally at speeds and costs incumbents can't match.
Please note: Base is a startup, which means priorities shift and evolve quickly. Your role may expand or change based on the needs of the business at any given time, so the responsibilities listed may not be exhaustive.
