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 join our Electrical Systems Engineering team as an intern, working from our manufacturing facility in Los Angeles. As a member of a startup environment, you will experience a fast-paced, dynamic setting that fosters adaptability and hands-on learning. While responsibilities may vary, here are some tasks and qualifications we expect to remain relatively consistent throughout your internship.

Core responsibilities

Supporting the testing and bring up of new electrical components and systems
Enhancing Arc's fully vehicle bench test environment
Getting hands on with building and testing
Debugging boat issues during production or on development boats
Making test harness systems to support harness quality checks

Basic qualifications

Hands on project experience
Excellent grasp of the fundamentals of Electrical Engineering
Clear written and verbal communication
Experience with reading electrical/PCB schematics

Bonus qualifications

Familiarity with high performance electric vehicles, solar cars, Formula SAE, or similar
Knowledge of high voltage systems and HV battery pack design/functionality
Prior experience with CAN communication and Matlab/Simulink controls
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.

What we value

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
Inclusion of different backgrounds, opinions, cultures, 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

Talented teammates that challenge you to be better
Access and often input to a wide range of business activities
An hourly wage between $38.00
An opportunity to have an outsized impact on industry-defining vehicles
The ability to drive positive environmental change through your work
Daily lunches, plenty of snacks, lots of swag, and more
Boat rides!

Hope to hear from you soon!
