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

Who we’re looking for

As an Industrial Marine Electrician on Arc's Commercial Build team, you'll be hands-on building the electrical systems that bring our commercial vessels to life — from switchboards through shipboard integration. You'll pull and terminate high-voltage cable, build and install panels and harnesses, wire propulsion and charging systems, and figure out what's actually wrong when the boat doesn't behave the way the drawing says it should.

We're looking for someone fired up by the mission and ready to build. You'll thrive here if you move fast, take ownership, and care about the details.

This is a full-time, on-site role at our Los Angeles headquarters.

What You'll Do

• Installing and commissioning high- and low-voltage electrical systems on commercial vessels, including battery strings, power distribution, propulsion, charging, and vessel controls

• Building and wiring control panels, switchgear, junction boxes, and shore power and charging infrastructure

• Fabricating and installing harnesses, conduit, cable tray, hangers, and penetrations

• Working from electrical schematics, one-lines, wiring diagrams, cable schedules, and interconnect drawings — and suggesting improvements over time

• Performing continuity, insulation resistance, HiPot, and functional checks, and supporting commissioning, dock trials, and sea trials

• Troubleshooting to the component level with a multimeter, clamp meter, and scope

• Partnering with Build Engineering to turn one-off installs into repeatable work instructions, and flagging designs that are hard to build before they're locked

• Serving as a safety leader for energized work, including LOTO, arc flash boundaries, and PPE discipline

• Traveling to partner shipyards and customer sites to support installation, commissioning, and field service

Minimum Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience as an industrial, marine, or commercial electrician, or completion of a recognized apprenticeship plus journeyman-level experience

• Hands-on experience with high-voltage systems. DC system experience preferred.

• Fluent reading and working from electrical schematics, one-lines, wiring diagrams, and cable schedules

• Proficiency with hand and power tools, hydraulic crimpers, calibrated torque tools, meggers, and multimeters

• Working knowledge of electrical safety practice, including LOTO, arc flash, and NFPA 70E

• This is an active role that will require consistent physical activity and standing for a majority of the shift

• ability to work with ambiguity and be a self starter

• Ability to lift, push, pull 50 lbs

• Ability to travel up to 20% of the time

• This position requires access to information controlled under U.S. export control laws and regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Applicants must be a 'U.S. person' as defined by ITAR (22 CFR §120.62) — i.e., a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, lawful permanent resident, or protected individual (asylee or refugee).

Bonus Qualifications

• California General Electrician certification, a journeyman card, or equivalent state licensure

• Marine electrical experience and familiarity with IEEE 45, 46 CFR, or ABS and class society requirements

• Experience on tugs, ferries, workboats, or naval vessels

• Experience with UL 508A control panel build

• Experience in a low-volume, high-mix, or first-article build environment where the process was still being developed

• Experience mentoring apprentices or junior technicians

• Comfortable pushing at a fast but sustainable pace

• Enthusiasm for boating and the water

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.
