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.
Who 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 Production team and will work from our manufacturing facility in Los AngelesGiven 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.
Core responsibilities
  • Manufacturing of composite (carbon & fiberglass) structures
  • Performing component assembly inspections and completing appropriate documentation
  • Advising on the design of assemblies, components, and testing
  • Contributing to improving workshop standards, protocols, and processes
  • Maintain high standards of safety, quality and output
Basic qualifications
  • Proficiency using mechanical and electric hand tools
  • Extensive experience in manufacturing, inspecting and repairing composite (carbon & fiberglass) structures
  • Capable of drilling, reaming and countersinking
  • Capable of machining & trimming composites
  • Experience vacuum bagging parts for resin infusion, room temperature cures and debulks
  • Experience interpreting engineering drawings, work instructions, and product data sheets
  • Ability to stand 6-10 hours per day and lift up to 50 lbs
Bonus qualifications
  • High school degree or GED certification
  • Prior experience in a fast-paced manufacturing setting
  • Experience with welding, composites, or interiors
  • Comfortable pushing an intense 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.
Our values

We value these five things above all else:
  • Ownership over both your work and the company's success
  • Empathy for colleagues and for customers
  • Humility in problem solving and collaboration
  • Pragmatism for navigating ambiguity quickly and sensibly
  • Inclusion of different backgrounds, opinions, cultures, etc.
Given that we work in a sometimes intense or stressful environment, it's vital that our values align. We'd be happy to elaborate on any or all of these during the interview process.
What we offer

Talented teammates that challenge you to be better
  • Access and often input to a wide range of business activities
  • An hourly wage between $32 - $42.50
  • Semi-annual bonuses tied to impact
  • A meaningful equity stake
  • An opportunity to have an outsized impact on industry-defining vehicles
  • The ability to drive positive environmental change through your work
  • Nearly free health insurance (we cover 99%) and a 401k
  • Generous parental leave
  • Daily lunches, plenty of snacks, lots of swag, and more
  • Boat rides!

Hope to hear from you soon!
