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
Base is launching new products, new deployment models, and new facilities in rapid succession. As we scale from early-stage operations to a high-throughput deployment engine, we need someone who can engineer the processes that hold it all together. We are hiring a Deployments Engineer to own the end-to-end process architecture for our warehousing and logistics function—creating the playbooks, systems, and workflows that will allow us to replicate successful operations across any new market or product.
This is a process engineering role with a strong operational execution component. You will be embedded with the warehouse and manufacturing teams, solving hard problems with a first-principles mindset and leaving behind scalable, documented systems.
What You’ll Do
- Create and maintain a comprehensive, living playbook with all processes, tasks, SOPs, and a master timeline to enable repeatable (“copy + paste”) warehouse standups.
- Document all current-state workflows and identify gaps or inconsistencies that introduce risk or inefficiency.
- Maintain version control and communicate playbook updates to relevant stakeholders as processes evolve.
- Lead process engineering efforts to support pivots and fulfillment of new projects and products as they arise.
- Conduct root cause analysis on operational mistakes and implement systemic fixes.
- Design physical and digital workflow improvements to reduce cycle times, errors, and operational costs.
- Partner with Software teams to translate process requirements into tooling features or automations and coordinate their implementation.
- Serve as the operational liaison between manufacturing and deployment, ensuring handoff processes are well-defined and executed.
What You’ll Bring
- 3–6 years of experience in process engineering, industrial engineering, operations engineering, or a closely related field.
- Demonstrated ability to design, document, and implement scalable operational processes in a physical or hybrid (physical + digital) environment.
- Experience collaborating with manufacturing, warehouse, or supply chain teams in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
- Strong technical foundation—able to translate operational workflows into systems requirements and work credibly alongside software teams.
- Excellent written communication skills; able to produce clear, concise SOPs and process documentation that others can execute independently.
- First-principles thinking and comfort challenging the status quo with data and structured reasoning.
- Experience with ERP or WMS platforms is strongly preferred.
About the Team
The Deployments Warehousing & Logistics team is responsible for the physical infrastructure that makes Base installs possible—managing warehouse locations, orchestrating inter-warehouse transfers, running final-mile logistics, and ensuring inventory accuracy across our internal systems. We solve the difficult, high impact problems that determine whether crews show up to job sites ready to work. Joining this team means owning processes that directly impact Base’s ability to scale and deliver on its mission.
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.

Verify your role qualifies as specialty occupation
Pull the O*NET profile for your target SOC code before applying. Deployment Engineer roles mapped to software developer codes carry stronger specialty occupation arguments than those filed under general computer occupations, which can attract USCIS scrutiny at petition review.
Check prevailing wage levels before accepting offers
Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up wage levels for your specific SOC code and work location. An offer at Level I when your duties match Level II or III can signal a weak LCA and increase the risk of an RFE during adjudication.
Target employers with active LCA filing histories
Use Migrate Mate to filter for employers who have filed LCAs for deployment or systems engineering roles, not just general software positions. Consistent filing history in your specific occupation reduces the chance of delays from an employer filing H-1B petitions for the first time.
Ask about cap-exempt employer options
Universities, nonprofit research institutions, and government research organizations are cap-exempt, meaning you can start work immediately after approval without waiting for October 1. Deployment Engineer roles exist at these institutions, especially in research computing and infrastructure teams.
Align your resume to the LCA job duties
Your petition's specialty occupation argument rests on the job description the employer submits with the I-129. Before filing, confirm that your resume specifically reflects the duties listed, since inconsistencies between the two are a common trigger for USCIS Requests for Evidence.
Use your 60-day grace period to evaluate offers carefully
If your previous H-1B employment ends, you have a 60-day grace period to secure a new sponsor. Don't accept the first offer that includes sponsorship. Evaluate whether the employer's LCA covers your actual scope of work, including any remote or multi-site deployment responsibilities.
H-1B Visa Deployment Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Deployment Engineer role qualify for H-1B sponsorship?
Yes, Deployment Engineer roles generally qualify as specialty occupations under H-1B requirements because they typically require at least a bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a closely related technical field. The specific SOC code your employer uses on the LCA matters, so confirm with your HR team that the filed occupation code accurately reflects your duties before the petition is submitted.
Which employers sponsor H-1B visas for Deployment Engineers?
Technology companies, cloud infrastructure providers, financial services firms, and enterprise software vendors regularly file H-1B petitions for Deployment Engineers. Migrate Mate filters employers by their LCA filing history in systems and deployment-related occupations, so you can identify sponsors with a track record in your specific role type rather than relying on general employer reputation.
What happens to my H-1B status if I change jobs to a new Deployment Engineer role?
You can transfer your H-1B to a new employer using the portability rules under AC21, which allow you to start working for the new sponsor as soon as the transfer petition is filed, not after approval. The new employer must file an I-129 before your current status expires. Your job duties at the new employer should remain in the same or a similar occupational classification to maintain portability eligibility.
Can my Deployment Engineer role be classified under multiple SOC codes?
Yes, and the SOC code your employer selects on the LCA directly affects your prevailing wage requirement and the strength of the specialty occupation argument. Roles with deployment, CI/CD pipeline, and infrastructure responsibilities are sometimes filed under software developer codes and sometimes under network or systems administrator codes. The OFLC Wage Search shows wage floors for each code by location, which helps you evaluate whether the employer's classification matches the actual seniority and scope of the role.
Does remote work affect my H-1B if I'm a Deployment Engineer working across multiple sites?
Remote and multi-site work creates a specific compliance obligation. USCIS and DOL require that a new or amended LCA be filed for any worksite not covered in the original petition, including client sites or data centers in different metropolitan statistical areas. If your Deployment Engineer role involves frequent on-site work at locations outside your primary office, confirm with your employer that the LCA covers all work locations before you begin work there.
