Lead Electromechanical Technician

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 who is passionate about our vision and eager to embrace the challenges of this new role. You will report to the Build Supervisor for Integration and collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to help us achieve our goals and objectives.

As an early-stage company, we operate in a fast-paced and dynamic environment. While the specifics of the role may evolve, there are core responsibilities and qualifications that we expect to remain consistent.

• Coordinate workloads within the team, proactively identifying and escalating blockers to ensure project timelines are met while maintaining high standards of safety, quality, and efficiency.
• Assemble and disassemble electric powertrain systems and instrumentation.
• Provide input on the design of assemblies, components, and testing procedures.
• Set up and operate test equipment such as digital multimeters, HIPOT machines, and power supplies.
• Perform component assembly inspections and complete the required documentation.
• Contribute to the improvement of workshop standards, protocols, and processes.

Basic qualifications

• Proficiency in using mechanical and electrical hand tools.
• Extensive experience in building and troubleshooting electromechanical systems, including electric motors, batteries, sensors, electronics, controls, pneumatics, and related components.
