Role summary

Arc is seeking a Commercial Field Systems Technician for a full-time, on-site role at their Los Angeles headquarters. This position involves assembling and integrating electrical and mechanical systems, including wire harnesses, electrical components, and communication interfaces for high-voltage systems (up to 1000V DC and 480V AC). The role requires diagnosing electrical issues, assembling pneumatic, hydraulic, and cooling systems, and supporting development builds, prototype systems, sea trials, and customer operations. The ideal candidate will have 4+ years of experience with high-voltage systems, familiarity with electrical communication systems, and the ability to read schematics and use diagnostic tools. Up to 75% travel is expected, including dockside and on-water work. A background check and U.S. Person status are required.

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.

Who we're looking for

We're looking for someone fired up by the mission and ready to build. You'll thrive here if you move fast, take ownership, and care about the details.

This is a full-time, on-site role at our Los Angeles headquarters, with up to 75% travel. You'll report to the Commercial Build Engineer and work closely with a lean, high-trust team where everyone’s work matters.

Assembling and integrating electrical and mechanical systems

Building and routing wire harnesses, including fiber optic cable assemblies where applicable

Installing and terminating electrical components and communication interfaces (CAN, Ethernet, Modbus, etc.)

Diagnosing electrical issues in 1000V DC and 480V AC systems

Assembling pneumatic and hydraulic systems

Assembling cooling systems

Minimum Qualifications

4+ years of experience working with high-voltage systems (EV, industrial, marine, or similar)

Familiarity with electrical communication systems (CAN, Modbus, Ethernet, or similar)

Experience reading and interpreting electrical schematics, system diagrams, and mechanical drawings

Experience using standard electrical diagnostic tools (multimeters, etc.) to verify system functionality

Up to 75% travel (local + occasional remote), including dockside and on-water work environments

Able to stand 6–10 hours per day and lift up to 50 lbs

Able to board and work in, around and on water vessels

This position may require access to export-controlled information. To comply with U.S. export control laws, applicants must be a U.S. Person as defined by the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) (22 CFR §120.15).
