    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 are a growing team looking for someone that is excited by our vision, eager for a challenge, and ready to evangelize the benefits of electric boating to a broad new audience.

    You will be a full-time member of our Customer Experience team and will be headquartered from our manufacturing facility in Los Angeles.

    You'll also be expected to travel regularly around the US and Canada to promote our products and connect with customers and partners.

    Given that we're an early stage company, you will be working in a fast-moving, dynamic environment. That said, there are some responsibilities and qualifications we expect to stay relatively constant for this role.
