Inventory Specialist

What we’re building

Our vision is to electrify all waterborne vessels, starting with electric water sport boats.

Gas-powered boats dominate today’s marine industry not because they offer a great experience 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 difficult to own and operate. They are also harmful to the water and air they reside in.

By contrast, electric boats are superior in nearly every way. They are far more reliable, less costly to operate, quieter, quicker, and cleaner, with no fumes or pollutants. However, they have been held back by both the technology and the talent needed to make them truly competitive with gas alternatives. That is Arc’s opportunity.

Using modern aerospace and automotive-inspired techniques, we are developing our hulls, batteries, cooling systems, firmware, and software together to deliver the next generation of watercraft.

What we’re looking for

We seek someone who 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 of their domain.

At Arc, we encourage diversity and welcome all qualified applicants, regardless of background, identity, or status. Even if you don’t meet every qualification, passion and aptitude make up for a lot, so don’t hesitate to reach out.

• 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
• Inclusion of different backgrounds, opinions, cultures, etc.

We work in an intense but rewarding environment, so it’s important that our values align. We’d be happy to elaborate during the interview process.
