We're looking for a Mechanical Engineer to join our Commercial Systems team in Torrance, CA. As a Mechanical Engineer, you will be responsible for designing and integrating mechanical, thermal, and fluid systems on our electric and hybrid propulsion systems. Your work will involve a dynamic split between requirements gathering, specifications, CAD design, hands-on prototyping, analysis, in-field validation, and production support. You will also be responsible for interfacing with component suppliers, partner shipyards, and vessel operators, and traveling occasionally (5-10% of the time).

Our ideal candidate has 3+ years of experience owning complete mechanical systems from initial design through production and is ready to take full ownership of key systems. You should have excellent grasp of the fundamentals of Mechanical, Thermal, and Fluids Engineering, and functional knowledge of electrical systems, including high voltage battery systems and power electronics. Experience with CAD software packages such as NX and modeling software such as Matlab and Simulink is also required.

We value engineers who take full ownership, apply first-principles thinking, and prioritize technical problems effectively for the most business value. We encourage diversity and consider all qualified applicants equally for employment, regardless of background, identity, or status. If you're passionate about electric boats and ready for a challenge, please apply.

We offer a base salary of P3: $150,000 or P4: $180,000 per year, depending on experience. You will also receive ownership equity in Arc, 99% employer-paid health coverage, an annual stipend to get out on the water, and other benefits. We're committed to creating a diverse and inclusive work environment where everyone feels valued and supported.

If you're interested in defining the future of boating and making a positive impact on the environment, we'd love to hear from you. Please submit your application, including your resume and a cover letter, to [insert contact email]. We look forward to hearing from you soon!
