Supply Chain Specialist
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 be a full-time member of our Supply Chain Team 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
- Procuring, tracking, and organizing all components required for production and R&D
- Identify part supply constraints that may impact production schedule, and create mitigation plans
- Overseeing and maintaining the warehouse inventory system
- Work in a cross functional team environment as a strong team player and demonstrate ability to work with other functional groups to achieve company-wide goals.
- Fulfillment of production kits to speed assembly
- Identify and engage with potential new partners while maintaining strong working relationships with existing suppliers
Basic qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree and 4 years related experience
- Clear written and verbal communication
- Fluency with common computer software, including spreadsheets and resource planning programs
- Ability to stand 4-6 hours per day and lift up to 50 lbs
Bonus qualifications
- Prior experience in a fast-paced manufacturing environment
- Strong organizational and problem-solving skills, with the ability to prioritize tasks effectively and efficiently
- Proficiency in SQL and MRP systems
- Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings
- Comfortable driving 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
- Diversity of background, opinion, culture, 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
- A salary between $90,000 - $110,000
- A meaningful equity stake
- An opportunity to have an outsized impact on industry-defining vehicles
