What are the responsibilities and job description for the Interiors Engineer position at Arc Boat Company?
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 Vehicle 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
Architecting and designing the vehicle interiors
Owning hardware from start to finish, including specifications, design, prototyping, testing, and high-volume manufacturing
Conducting human factors engineering to ensure fit, form, and function of all interiors

Steering decisions between in-house manufacturing and outsourced procurement
Interfacing with suppliers and contractors
Supporting the design of next generation products
Requirements
Basic qualifications
Experience designing interiors or other user-facing products
Hands-on project experience
Excellent grasp of the fundamentals of Mechanical Design Engineering
Bonus qualifications

Experience with CAD and FEA software packages
Prior experience in a fast-paced manufacturing setting

Ability to articulate and defend engineering decisions

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.

Access and often input to a wide range of business activities
