Manufacturing Engineer

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 Manufacturing Engineering 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

• Develop new manufacturing  processes
• Assist with design decisions and provide manufacturing feedback to achieve high rate production and on-time delivery
• Create and manage manufacturing BOMs, work instructions, and specifications
• Disposition rework and repairs during the manufacturing process
• Interface with contractors and suppliers
• Use hand calculations and CAD to design production tooling
• Architect the manufacturing system for next generation products

Basic qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline
• 2+ years of experience in battery manufacturing
• At least 12 months of industry experience (internships count)
• Willingness to get hands-on building next generation boats

Bonus qualifications

• Exposure to multiple engineering disciplines
• Prior experience in a fast-paced manufacturing setting
• Ability to articulate and defend engineering decisions
• Excellent grasp of the fundamentals of Design for Manufacturability
• 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
• Salary between $100,000-$165,000
• Semi-annual bonuses tied to impact
• A meaningful equity stake
• An opportunity to have an outsized impact on industry-defining vehicles
• The ability to drive positive environmental change through your work
• Nearly free health insurance (we cover 99%) and a 401k
• Generous parental leave
• Daily lunches, plenty of snacks, lots of swag, and more
• Boat rides!

Hope to hear from you soon!
