About the Team

The Deployment Quality team is the last line of defense between an installation and a live system—ensuring every battery we energize is safe, compliant, and built to last. We solve the gap between “installed” and “done right,” catching issues that impact long-term system performance, customer trust, and our ability to scale reliably across markets. Our work directly protects Base’s model—owning and operating distributed battery systems at scale—by preventing costly failures and driving higher-quality installs across both in-house crews and partners. The impact is measurable: better install quality means fewer service calls, faster PTO timelines, and stronger unit economics. This is a team for people who want to set the standard, not just check the box—where your decisions directly influence how thousands of systems perform in the real world.
