Design and implement security architecture for embedded devices and hardware systems used in Base's distributed energy network Develop secure boot, firmware signing, update integrity, and hardware root of trust mechanisms Protect device identity, authentication, authorization, and key lifecycle management on physical hardware Harden firmware and embedded Linux environments against exploitation, tampering, and unauthorized modification Conduct threat modeling, penetration testing, and vulnerability assessments on device level hardware and communication protocols Analyze and secure industrial communication interfaces including CAN, Modbus, serial, Ethernet, and wireless interfaces Implement secure communication between devices and cloud or control plane services using mutual TLS, certificate rotation, and encrypted channels Work with hardware and manufacturing teams to define secure provisioning, device enrollment, and supply chain security processes Investigate device failures or anomalous behavior and lead root cause analysis for potential security related events Define and document best practices for embedded security, operational procedures, and long term systems hardening What You'll Bring
Strong experience in embedded systems, firmware engineering, or hardware security Deep understanding of secure boot, firmware signing, key storage, and hardware root of trust implementations Experience with embedded Linux, RTOS environments, or bare metal firmware Knowledge of cryptography fundamentals, secure communication protocols, and identity or authentication systems Hands on experience with debugging tools, lab hardware, oscilloscopes, and JTAG or SWD interfaces Familiarity with industrial or field device security, especially in IoT, robotics, energy systems, or other distributed physical systems Ability to analyze attack surfaces across hardware, firmware, and communication layers Strong ability to collaborate across hardware, embedded, backend, and operations teams Comfortable making foundational architectural decisions in a small, fast moving engineering team About This Team America's power grid is failing-electricity costs have risen even as generation gets cheaper, and blackouts are becoming more common. We're building the software that fixes it. Our team owns the entire stack: firmware that controls batteries in thousands of homes, trading algorithms that buy and sell power in real-time markets, distributed commanding systems that orchestrate a growing fleet as a single grid asset, factory software for our Austin manufacturing line, and the product experience that makes it all invisible to homeowners. If you want to write code that physically moves electrons, ships hardware, and reshapes critical infrastructure, this is the job. 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.
