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 looking for an experienced Production Supervisor to help lead our growing manufacturing team. As one of our first supervisors, you will play a key role in establishing the culture for our production floor and ensuring we hit our ambitious growth targets. We are looking for a people-first leader who cares about quality, safety, and scale. You will be responsible for guiding a team of Production Associates, helping them succeed in their daily tasks, and ensuring we build our battery systems to the highest standards. You will work closely with engineering and warehouse teams to maximize output and ensure we successfully hit our production ramp plan. What You’ll Do * Support Your Team: Create a positive, safe, and productive work environment. You are there to remove roadblocks for your team and help them succeed. * Set the Tone: Model the "Base Pace"—working efficiently and with purpose—while ensuring that safety and respect are always the top priority. * Communication: Act as the main link between the production floor and management. You’ll make sure your team understands the “why” and that their feedback is heard by the wider company. * Maintain Standards: Ensure every product leaving your line meets our quality specifications. You’ll help the team understand why quality matters, not just how to do the task. * Root Cause Analysis: Lead investigations (like the "5 Whys") when issues arise to ensure they don't happen twice. Preventing defects will improve our product and keep pace for our ambitious ramp plan. * Organization (5S): Champion a clean and organized workspace. A high-output line requires an orderly environment to function at peak capacity. * Maximize Throughput: You and your team are responsible for hitting daily and weekly production targets. You’ll monitor the line constantly to identify bottlenecks and re-allocate resources to keep the product moving. * Execute the Ramp: Work hand-in-hand with leadership to execute our production ramp plan. You’ll ensure the team is prepared for increased volumes and that new processes are integrated seamlessly without losing momentum. * Continuous Improvement: Look for ways to shave minutes off cycle times and reduce waste. You’ll drive efficiency using Lean principles to ensure we are getting the most out of every shift. Establish safe work arounds to ensure product continues to be produced. * Onboarding & Mentorship: You will personally oversee the training and certification of new Production Associates, ensuring they are "ramp-ready" and capable of high-quality work. * Safety Stewardship: Work with EHS to conduct regular safety audits and Job Hazard Analyses (JHA). You’ll train the team that safety is the foundation of high performance. * Operations Management: Handle the day-to-day administrative needs, including time-card approvals, scheduling, and resource planning with the Warehouse team. What You'll Bring * Experience: 3+ years of experience as a Production Supervisor in a manufacturing, assembly, or warehouse environment. * Ramp Mindset: You have experience scaling a production line or working in a high-growth environment. You know how to manage the pressure of increasing targets. * Culture Builder: You are approachable, patient, and good at listening. You know how to motivate a team to hit their numbers while building a culture of ownership and pride in the work. * Methodology: Familiarity with Lean Manufacturing or 5S concepts. You know how to spot a bottleneck and work with a team to clear it. * Adaptability: You thrive in a startup environment where processes are evolving. You are comfortable working flexible hours or weekends if needed to support production milestones. About This Team The Production team at Base exists to turn our technology into a tangible, physical reality that lives in the homes of every Texan. We are the final and most critical step in the value chain; while others design the blueprints, we build the reliable hardware that ensures a family never loses power during a grid failure. Our challenge is uniquely high-impact because we are currently opening multiple new factories and growing our team exponentially to meet unprecedented demand. For an exceptional leader, this is a rare opportunity to move past maintaining existing systems and instead build the foundational manufacturing culture of a company that is fundamentally redesigning the American power grid. 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. 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.

Job Description At TerraFirma, we’re redefining how the world moves earth for construction. Founded by former SpaceX engineers and backed by Bain Capital Ventures, TerraFirma is automating construction to make it faster, cheaper, and safer. Our Story & Mission At SpaceX, we were part of the teams that built the largest rocket in human history, launched the largest constellation of satellites ever made, and delivered connectivity to millions of people worldwide. What we learned was simple: infrastructure is everything. At Starbase, the biggest barrier to launching missions to Mars was not building the rocket. It was how slow, expensive, and complex it was to build the infrastructure around it. We lacked buildings, roads, water, power, communications, and waste management, and constructing them took far more time and resources than it should have. From a first-principles perspective, that doesn't make sense. It shouldn't be this hard or costly to create the foundations for progress. That’s when we realized something important: the same engineering mindset that enabled us to tackle space exploration and mass manufacturing could be applied to infrastructure. By bringing the principles of simplification, iteration, acceleration, and automation to construction, we can unlock a new era in how the world builds. Accelerating infrastructure unlocks progress across every domain, creating a self-sustaining engine for tackling humanity’s toughest challenges. The innovations we develop on Earth will lay the groundwork for the technologies that one day make settlement on Mars possible.
