Job summary

Arc seeks a hands-on Marine Mechanical Engineer to design propulsion and drivetrain systems for electric marine platforms. You will collaborate with naval architects, own thermal/fluid systems, run tests on land and water, and drive design-for-manufacture with suppliers.

Occasional sea trials and USCG/ABS compliance support are required. Ideal candidates will have 3+ years releasing mechanical systems for production and strong CAD/PLM experience, with the ability to work hands-on in shop and on

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree awarded in relevant engineering field (Marine/Naval/Ocean/Mechanical).
