Job Description

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.

Developing new manufacturing and testing processes
Assisting with design decisions to achieve high rate production and on-time delivery
Creating and managing manufacturing BOMs, work instructions, and specifications
Dispositioning rework and repairs during the manufacturing process
Interfacing with contractors and suppliers
Using hand calculations and CAD to design production tooling
Architecting the manufacturing system for next generation products
Requirements
Basic qualifications

Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline
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
Experience with composite manufacturing, lamination, infusion, and composite assembly.
Experience with fiberglass repair methodologies
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.
