Electrical Integration Engineer

What we're buildingEvery idea starts with a problem. Ours was simple: Boats are special — but they're loud, pollutant, unreliable, and stuck in the past. Gas-powered boats dominate not because they're great, but because no better option has existed. Until now.Arc is here to change that. We're building 100% electric boats from the ground up — quicker, quieter, easier to maintain, and better for the water they ride on. We're not just swapping gas for batteries. We're rethinking every detail on the boat — from propulsion and powertrain to software and ownership model — applying first-principles engineering from aerospace and EVs to deliver a better boating experience.Electric boats haven't taken over yet. The tech hasn't been ready. The talent hasn't been focused here. That's our opportunity — and we're moving fast.Who we're looking forWe're looking for someone who thrives at the intersection of engineering design and factory execution. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving production problems, improving processes, supporting technicians on the floor, and creating robust electrical systems that scale into volume manufacturing.You'll thrive here if you move quickly, take ownership, communicate clearly, and enjoy turning complex problems into practical solutions.This is a full-time, on-site role at our Los Angeles headquarters. You'll report to the Manager, Electrical Engineering and work closely with Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Supply Chain, Quality, and Production teams.Core responsibilitiesSupporting diagnosis of issues through hands on electrical testing and over-the-air data acquisition, collaborating with software and controls engineersSupporting production teams daily by troubleshooting harnesses, electrical integration, and build issues on the manufacturing floorDriving root cause analysis and corrective actions for recurring production and field issuesDriving constant improvement of full vehicle electrical system through manufacturing, design, validation, and process improvementPartnering with technicians and assemblers to optimize installation methods, routing paths, tooling, and work instructionsCoordinating with outsourced harness suppliers on design intent, build quality, ECNs, first articles, and production readinessSupporting pilot builds, line launches, process validation, and production ramp activitiesDeveloping and improving test procedures for harness validation, continuity, hipot, and end-of-line verificationContributing to production documentation including build instructions, torque specs, inspection standards, and repair proceduresSupporting vehicle electrical integration in a fast-paced production environment with urgency and high attention to detailBasic QualificationsExperience in marine, automotive, or EV vehicle production environmentsExperience supporting production environments and resolving line-down or build-impacting issues quicklyExperience interfacing with electrical schematics, formboards, drawings, and engineering change releasesHands-on experience building, reworking, or repairing harnessesExperience selecting connectors, terminals, crimps, seals, wire types, and toolingFamiliarity with vehicle electrical systems and communication protocols (CAN, LIN, Ethernet, etc.)Strong troubleshooting skills using multimeters, scopes, and standard electrical toolsAbility to work cross-functionally between engineering and production teamsExperience with EMI/EMC mitigation in vehiclesClear written and verbal communicationBonus QualificationsFamiliarity with ABYC, ISO, IPC/WHMA-A-620, UL, or IEC standardsExperience in designing LV harness assemblies (Preferably Zuken E.3)Experience with HV cable assemblies, shielding, grounding, and safety systemsExperience reducing cost through design simplification or supplier optimizationFamiliarity with CAD-to-formboard bridge tools (NX to Zuken Bridge)Experience with outsourced harness suppliers, contract manufacturers, or offshore production partnersStrong prioritization and time management in high-urgency environmentsAt Arc, we encourage diversity and consider all qualified applicants equally for employment, regardless of background, identity, or status. You're always welcome to reach out even if you don't meet many of these qualifications. Passion and aptitude make up for a lot.Our valuesWe move with urgency and build with care. We value these five things above all else:Ownership over both your work and the company's successEmpathy for colleagues and for customersHumility in problem solving and collaborationPragmatism for navigating ambiguity quickly and sensibly Inclusion of different backgrounds, opinions, cultures, and perspectives.We want people who share and embody these values. It is vital that our values align - we'd be happy to elaborate on any or all of these during the interview process.What we offerWe don't think great work happens by accident.
