Field Technician Jobs

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 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.

You will be a full-time member of our Field Operations team and will work from our manufacturing facility in Los Angeles, with significant travel time as well. Given that we’re a startup, you will be working in a fast-moving, dynamic environment that requires adaptability. That said, here are some responsibilities and qualifications we expect to stay relatively constant for this role.

Requirements

Core responsibilities

• Demonstrating the Arc One's capabilities to a wide variety of audiences around the US and Canada
• Diligently maintaining our demonstration vehicles to ensure high up time
• Becoming an expert in assembling and disassembling all major boat systems, including electric powertrain systems, thermal coolant systems, and aesthetic paint/upholstery among others
• Contributing to improving service standards, protocols, and processes
• Performing trailering, docking, launch, and recovery of Arc demo vehicles in a professional manner

Basic Qualifications

• A people-centric mindset to aid relationship building
• Proficiency using mechanical and electric hand tools
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to stand 6-10 hours per day and lift up to 50 lbs
• Experience interpreting engineering drawings, work instructions, electrical schematics, and product data sheets
• A scrappy “get-things-done” approach to help execute on things that the company hasn’t tried before and learn on the fly
• Ability to operate independently and make data-backed decisions on the go
• Extensive experience building and troubleshooting electromechanical systems such as electric motors, batteries, sensors, electronics, controls, pneumatics, etc

Bonus Qualifications

• Enthusiasm for boating and clean energy
• Experience with welding, composites, or interiors
• Comfortable pushing an intense but sustainable pace
• Prior experience in a fast-paced manufacturing setting
• High school degree or GED certification

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

• Humility in problem solving and collaboration
• Ownership over both your work and the company’s success
• Empathy for colleagues and for customers
• Pragmatism for navigating ambiguity quickly and sensibly
• Diversity of background, opinion, culture, etc

Given that we work 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

• Generous parental leave
• A meaningful equity stake
• The ability to drive positive environmental change through your work
• An hourly wage between $30.00-$37.00
