Electromechanical Technician

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.

We’re looking for someone excited by our vision, eager for a challenge, and ready to learn on the job. We pride ourselves on transparency and operate in a lean, high-trust environment where everyone takes ownership of their domain.

You will be a full-time member of our Production team, working from our manufacturing facility in Torrance, CA. This role will focus on assembling, testing, and troubleshooting electromechanical systems, while also contributing to process improvements and various production projects.

As a startup, we move fast. You’ll need to be adaptable, but the following responsibilities and qualifications will remain relatively constant.

• →Assembling and disassembling electric powertrain systems and instrumentation
• →Advising on the design of assemblies, components, and testing
• →Setting up and utilizing test equipment, including digital multimeters, HIPOT machines, and power supplies
• →Performing component assembly inspections and complete documentation
• →Contributing to improving workshop standards, protocols, and processes

• Proficiency using mechanical and electric hand tools
• Experience in building and troubleshooting electromechanical systems, including electric motors, batteries, sensors, electronics, controls, and pneumatics
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, work instructions, and product data sheets
• Ability to:
• Stand for extended periods (6-10 hours per day)
• Lift up to 50 lbs.
• Work extended hours as needed to meet production demands

• High school diploma or GED
• Prior experience in a fast-paced manufacturing setting
• Experience with welding, composites, or interiors

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.

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.

We work in an intense but rewarding environment, so it’s important that our values align. We’d be happy to elaborate during the interview process.
