About the role

  • We're now scaling production of our flagship model with new models and sectors on the horizon.
  • You'll thrive here if you move fast, take ownership, and care about the details.

Responsibilities

  • Partnering with our business development group as the first technical touchpoint, developing concept solutions and architectures for new marine projects.
  • Driving the development of internal sizing and estimation tools. You will collaborate with design engineers to build robust calculators for electrical loads, thermal limits, and pricing-with the explicit goal of streamlining our application engineering engine.
  • Generating high-level CAD layouts to validate space claims for major equipment (e.g., demonstrating switchgear cabinet lineups within a vessel's hull).
  • We move with urgency and build with care.

Requirements

  • 2+ years of experience in the marine industry as an application engineer, proposal engineer, design engineer, or similar role.
  • Strong understanding of marine electrical architectures, including diesel-electric systems, fully electric propulsion, and high-voltage DC power distribution.
  • Functional knowledge of energy storage systems (ESS), switchgear, power electronics, and power management systems.
  • Basic proficiency with CAD software (such as NX or SolidWorks) for conceptual layouts and footprint planning.
  • Strong time management skills with the ability to juggle multiple project deadlines simultaneously.
  • Must be a US Person

Nice to have

  • Firsthand experience working on commercial vessels (tugs, ferries) or defense vessels, particularly those with electric propulsion.
  • Deep experience with high-voltage battery systems and their associated safety requirements.
  • Familiarity with marine classification society rules and regulatory standards (e.g., ABS, DNV, USCG, IEEE 45).
  • Experience conceptualizing or guiding the creation of computational tools (e.g., in Excel, Matlab, or Python) for system sizing.
  • Familiarity with fluid/thermal cooling systems, sufficient to understand and utilize internal thermal sizing calculators for power electronics.
  • Enthusiasm for boating and the water.
  • 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.

Skills

  • What we're building
  • And yet it runs on technology that hasn't meaningfully changed in fifty years.
  • Arc is on a mission to electrify the marine industry.

Compensation

  • The base salary for this role is $140,000* annually.
  • As well as semi-annual bonuses tied to your impact, not just your tenure.

Benefits

  • Highly competitive equity grants are included with full time offers.
  • Additionally, Arc offers top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including:
  • Healthcare benefits - 99% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision
  • Parental leave - 14 weeks fully paid for birthing and non-birthing parents
  • Generous time off - Highly competitive PTO with an opportunity to earn more time with tenure
  • Income protection - Life and disability insurance for all employees
  • Retirement savings - Traditional and Roth 401(k) access
  • Professional development - $500 annual reimbursement for professional development and a monthly AI stipend
  • Safety Support- Annual reimbursement for PPE, ergonomic equipment and anything that ensures we keep our crew safe
  • Office perks - Daily lunches, snacks, and good coffee while onsite

Company info

  • 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, and perspectives.
  • Evaluating customer requirements, ship specifications, and general arrangements to develop optimized technical proposals that align with our mission.
  • It is vital that our values align - we'd be happy to elaborate on any or all of these during the interview process.
