Role summary

Arc is electrifying the marine industry and seeking a hands-on Industrial Marine Electrician to build electrical systems for commercial vessels. This role involves installing and commissioning high- and low-voltage systems, building control panels, wiring propulsion and charging systems, and troubleshooting issues. The ideal candidate has 5+ years of experience as an electrician, hands-on experience with high-voltage systems, proficiency with electrical schematics, and knowledge of electrical safety practices. This is a full-time, on-site position in Los Angeles.

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

As an Industrial Marine Electrician on Arc's Commercial Build team, you'll be hands-on building the electrical systems that bring our commercial vessels to life — from switchboards through shipboard integration. You'll pull and terminate high-voltage cable, build and install panels and harnesses, wire propulsion and charging systems, and figure out what's actually wrong when the boat doesn't behave the way the drawing says it should.

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.

What You'll Do

Installing and commissioning high- and low-voltage electrical systems on commercial vessels, including battery strings, power distribution, propulsion, charging, and vessel controls

Building and wiring control panels, switchgear, junction boxes, and shore power and charging infrastructure

Fabricating and installing harnesses, conduit, cable tray, hangers, and penetrations

Working from electrical schematics, one-lines, wiring diagrams, cable schedules, and interconnect drawings — and suggesting improvements over time

Performing continuity, insulation resistance, HiPot, and functional checks, and supporting commissioning, dock trials, and sea trials

Troubleshooting to the component level with a multimeter, clamp meter, and scope

Partnering with Build Engineering to turn one-off installs into repeatable work instructions, and flagging designs that are hard to build before they're locked

Serving as a safety leader for energized work, including LOTO, arc flash boundaries, and PPE discipline

Traveling to partner shipyards and customer sites to support installation, commissioning, and field service

Minimum Qualifications

5+ years of experience as an industrial, marine, or commercial electrician, or completion of a recognized apprenticeship plus journeyman-level experience

Proficiency with hand and power tools, hydraulic crimpers, calibrated torque tools, meggers, and multimeters
