Field Test Engineer
What we're buildingOur 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 forWe're looking for someone who enjoys solving difficult technical problems, still likes to get hands on, and is always willing to learn.
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 Test 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.
RequirementsCore responsibilities Providing direction on qualification and acceptance testing of electrical and mechanical vehicle systems Owning on the water testing from start to finish, including planning, test plans, execution, build instructions, and hand off to production Working with engineers to help guide and implement feedback and corrective actions with production Developing functional specs, procedures, and other documentation required for designing and executing safe and efficient testing Using a combination of hand calculations, FEA, and CAD to engineer test stands Collaborating with mechanical, electrical, and production engineering teams to ensure data acquisition integrity Sourcing and procuring test components Getting hands on with devising and executing test setups Supporting the design of next generation products Basic qualifications Experience leading qualification or production acceptance testing campaigns Basic proficiency with CAD and FEA software packages Experience with powerboats on and off the water and ability to spend lots of time on them Strong grasp of the fundamentals of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Bonus qualifications Prior experience in a fast-paced manufacturing setting Clear written and verbal communication Ability to articulate and defend engineering decisions Strong time management skills Comfortable working 50 hours a week At Arc, we encourage diversity and consider all qualified applicants equally for employment, regardless of background, identity, or status.
