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 the 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 Supply Chain team and will work from our manufacturing facility in Los Angeles. 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.

Core responsibilities

• Manage raw materials, parts, and hardware for factory operations, including receiving, storing, and issuing
• Perform efficient picking to create kits of necessary parts, materials, and hardware, ensuring availability and accuracy
• Verify incoming materials for conformity and absence of damage
• Monitor shelf life storage and uphold rigorous material handling practices
• Investigate and resolve discrepancies between inventory reports and physical inventory
• Record inventory activities in software, complete daily transactions, and link them to relevant work centers.

Requirements

Basic qualifications

• Clear written and verbal communication
• Experience with computer software, including spreadsheets, email, and resource planning programs
• Experience with manufacturing inventory and kitting processes
• Ability to stand 4-6 hours per day and lift up to 50 lbs

Bonus qualifications

• High school degree or GED certification
• Prior experience in a fast-paced manufacturing setting
• Familiarity operating forklifts or towing equipment
• Experience with cranes and rigging for the safe loading and unloading of large and heavy items.
• 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.

• Ownership over both your work and the company’s success
