Role summary

Arc is seeking an Electrical Integration Engineering Intern for Summer 2027 at its Torrance, CA headquarters. This role involves supporting the design and implementation of electrically integrated systems, building prototypes for testing, and collaborating with engineering teams. The ideal candidate is currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in a related engineering field, possesses familiarity with electrical systems and vehicle wiring, and demonstrates strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Experience with high-voltage systems, CAN communication, or MATLAB Simulink is a plus. This internship offers a hands-on opportunity to contribute to electrifying the marine industry.

What we’re building

The marine industry supports recreation, global commerce, and national defense. And yet it runs on technology that hasn't meaningfully changed in fifty years. Until now.Arc is on a mission to electrify the marine industry. We're rethinking powertrains, software, and vessel designs from first principles. And we're already executing. We started with consumers to develop and harden our core technology. We’re now scaling production of our flagship model with new models and sectors on the horizon. Now we’re extending our platform to commercial applications, starting with tugs, ferries, and defense, with years worth of signed contracts and a pipeline that spans every vessel type on the water.

The technology is proven, the momentum is building, and the opportunity is enormous. The marine industry is going electric and Arc is building the platform that powers it
