Job description

What we’re building

The marine industry supports recreation, global commerce, and national defense. And yet it runs on technology that hasn’t meaningfully changed in fifty years. Until now.

Arc is on a mission to electrify the marine industry. We’re rethinking powertrains, software, and vessel designs from first principles. And we’re already executing. We started with consumers to develop and harden our core technology. We’re now scaling production of our flagship model with new models and sectors on the horizon. Now we’re extending our platform to commercial applications, starting with tugs, ferries, and defense, with years worth of signed contracts and a pipeline that spans every vessel type on the water.

The technology is proven, the momentum is building, and the opportunity is enormous. The marine industry is going electric and Arc is building the platform that powers it

• First hand experience operating boats
• Fluency with common computer software, including SQL, spreadsheets, email, and resource planning programs
• Demonstrated efficiency in time management, interpersonal communication, and organization
• Comfortable pushing a fast but sustainable pace
• Enthusiasm for boating and clean energy

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

The base pay for this role is $32 per hour.

Additionally, Arc offers top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including:

• Retirement savings — Traditional and Roth 401(k) access
• Safety support — Reimbursement for PPE, ergonomic equipment, and anything that ensures we keep our crew safe
• Relocation Assistance
• Mentorship Opportunities

Our values

We move with urgency and build with care. We value these five things above all else:

• Ownership over both your work and the company’s success
• Empathy for colleagues and for customers
• Humility in problem solving and collaboration
• Pragmatism for navigating ambiguity quickly and sensibly
