Manufacturing Engineer

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 report to the Manager, Manufacturing Engineering work from our 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.

Core responsibilities

• Develop new manufacturing processes
• Assist with design decisions and provide manufacturing feedback to achieve high rate production and on-time delivery
• Create and manage manufacturing BOMs, work instructions, and specifications
• Disposition rework and repairs during the manufacturing process
• Interface with contractors and suppliers
• Use hand calculations and CAD to design production tooling
• Architect the manufacturing system for next generation products
