Electromechanical Technician

What we're building

Our vision is to electrify all waterborne vessels, and we're starting with electric watersport boats.

An electric boat is superior to a gas boat in almost every way: not only is it way easier to maintain (the single biggest pain point of owning a gas boat) and a lot cheaper to operate (a day of use costs ~$10 compared to ~$100 for a gas boat), but it’s also quieter, faster, more stable, and cleaner, with no fumes or pollutants.

Battery tech is finally good enough to pull this off, but a truly performant electric boat also requires a strong, lightweight hull to accommodate the large battery. With years of experience in aerospace manufacturing, we believe we can disrupt the gasoline boating industry through first principle engineering, innovative production techniques, and a scrappy start-up approach to problem solving.

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone who is excited by our vision and eager for the challenge. You will report to our Build Supervisor and will work out of one of our manufacturing facilities in Los Angeles.

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.

Requirements

Core responsibilities

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

Basic Qualifications

• Proficiency using mechanical and electric hand tools
• Extensive experience building and troubleshooting electromechanical systems such as electric motors, batteries, sensors, electronics, controls, pneumatics, etc.
• Experience interpreting engineering drawings, work instructions, electrical schematics, and product data sheets
• Ability to stand 6-10 hours per day and lift up to 50 lbs

At Arc, we encourage diversity and consider all qualified applicants equally for employment, regardless of background, identity, or status. You're welcome to reach out even if you feel you don't meet these qualifications. Passion and aptitude make up for a lot.

Benefits

What we value

We value these three things above all else:

• Empathy, for colleagues and for customers
• Pragmatism, for navigating ambiguity quickly and sensibly
• Diversity, of background, opinion, culture, etc.

Given that we’re a small team working 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 you’ll get

• A meaningful equity stake
• An hourly wage between $28 and $38 with plenty of overtime available
• Smart teammates that challenge you to be better
• Access to and input over every aspect of the business, not just engineering
• An opportunity to launch an industry-defining product in under a year
• Knowledge that you’re helping save the environment
• Health benefits
• Lots of snacks

Since we’re a small team, we can move at whatever pace you’d like. If you’re in a hurry, we can get through the recruiting process in a matter of days. If you want to take your time, we can spread it out over weeks or even months.

Hope to hear from you soon!
