What we’re building

Every idea starts with a problem. Ours was simple: Boats are special — but they’re loud, pollutant, unreliable, and stuck in the past. Gas-powered boats dominate not because they’re great, but because no better option has existed. Until now.

Arc is here to change that. We’re building 100% electric boats from the ground up — quicker, quieter, easier to maintain, and better for the water they ride on. We’re not just swapping gas for batteries. We’re rethinking every detail on the boat — from propulsion and powertrain to software and ownership model — applying first-principles engineering from aerospace and EVs to deliver a better boating experience.

Electric boats haven’t taken over yet. The tech hasn’t been ready. The talent hasn’t been focused here. That’s our opportunity — and we’re moving fast.

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.

This is a role on our Production team with the direct responsibility of launching and sustaining a second shift team, supporting 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. This role will be a 2nd shift role (2PM-1030PM with about a month of training on 1st shift to start) Here are some responsibilities and qualifications we expect to stay relatively constant for this role.

• Monitoring and maintaining team adherence to safety, workmanship, time clocking, and shop cleanliness standards
• Partnering with engineering leaders and production management to determine priorities, lead times, and completion timelines
• Initiating and fostering a spirit of collaboration within and between departments
• Maintaining tooling and consumable supply inventory
• Improving area safety, utilization, productivity, and efficiency through regular auditing and continuous improvement
• Ability to work 2nd shift (2PM-1030PM) with weekend and on-call shifts if needed

Basic qualifications

• 5 years of experience in a fast paced manufacturing or production environment
• 2-3 years in a leadership capacity
