WHAT WE’RE BUILDING

Our vision is to electrify all waterborne vessels, and we’re starting with electric water sport boats.
Gas boats dominate today’s marine industry not because of great product offerings but because of a lack of better alternatives. Boaters have grown accustomed to vehicles that feel stuck in the 1980s: unreliable, expensive, loud, noxious, and a nightmare to own and operate. They’re also awful for the water and air they reside in.
By contrast, electric boats are superior in nearly every way: not only are they far more reliable and less costly to operate, but they’re also quieter, quicker, and cleaner, with no fumes or pollutants. However, they’ve been held back by both the technology and the talent to make them truly competitive with gas alternatives. That’s Arc’s opportunity.
Using modern, aerospace- and automotive-inspired techniques, we’re building our hulls, batteries, cooling systems, firmware, and software together to deliver the next generation of watercraft.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We’re looking for someone that is excited by our vision, eager for a challenge, and willing to learn on the job. We pride ourselves on transparency and operate in a lean, high-trust environment that encourages everyone to take ownership over their domain.
You will be a full-time member of our Manufacturing Engineering team and will work from our manufacturing facility in Los Angeles. Given that we’re a startup, you will be working in a fast-moving, dynamic environment that requires adaptability. That said, here are some responsibilities and qualifications we expect to stay relatively constant for this role.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline
• 2+ years of experience in battery manufacturing
• At least 12 months of industry experience (internships count)
• Willingness to get hands-on building next generation boats

BONUS QUALIFICATIONS

• Exposure to multiple engineering disciplines
• Prior experience in a fast-paced manufacturing setting
• Ability to articulate and defend engineering decisions
• Excellent grasp of the fundamentals of Design for Manufacturability
• Comfortable pushing a fast but sustainable pace
• Enthusiasm for boating and clean energy
  At Arc, we encourage diversity and consider all qualified applicants equally for employment, regardless of background, identity, or status. You’re always welcome to reach out even if you don’t meet many of these qualifications. Passion and aptitude make up for a lot.
