Production Supervisor
What we’re building
Our vision is to electrify all waterborne vessels, and we're starting with electric water sport boats.
Gas boats dominate today’s marine industry not because of great product offerings 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 a nightmare to own and operate. They’re also awful for the water and air they reside in.
By contrast, electric boats are superior in nearly every way: not only are they far more reliable and less costly to operate, but they’re also quieter, quicker, and cleaner, with no fumes or pollutants. However, they’ve been held back by both the technology and the talent to make them truly competitive with gas alternatives. That’s Arc’s opportunity.
Using modern, aerospace- and automotive-inspired techniques, we’re building our hulls, batteries, cooling systems, firmware, and software together to deliver the next generation of watercraft.
Who we’re looking for
We’re looking for someone that 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 over their domain.
This is a role on our Production team supporting our manufacturing facility in Los Angeles. Given that we’re a startup, you will be working in a fast-moving, dynamic environment that requires adaptability. That said, here are some responsibilities and qualifications we expect to stay relatively constant for this role.

- Organizing, assigning, and tracking deliverables for the production technician team including driving the team against production schedules
- Managing a staff of technicians including all recruitment, training, development, auditing, and performance management related tasks
- Monitoring and maintaining team adherence to safety, workmanship, time clocking, and shop cleanliness standards
- Partnering with engineering leaders and production management to determine priorities, lead times, and completion timelines
- Initiating and fostering a spirit of collaboration within and between departments
- Maintaining tooling and consumable supply inventory
- Improving area safety, utilization, productivity, and efficiency through regular auditing and continuous improvement
Basic qualifications

- Willingness to get hands on with build projects as needed
- Ability to be flexible and get creative to keep complex projects moving forward
Bonus qualifications
- Clear written and verbal communication

At 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.

- Ownership over both your work and the company’s success
- Empathy for colleagues and for customers
- Humility in problem solving and collaboration
