Commercial Field Systems Technician

Torrance, CA

What we’re building

The marine industry spans weekend 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 propulsion, powertrain, software, and the ownership model from first principles. And we're already executing. On the consumer side we've gone from our first boat to scaled production with new models launching. On the commercial side we're moving across tugs, ferries, and defense with a $160M contract delivering this year and a pipeline that spans every vessel type on the water.


The technology is proven, the momentum is real, 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 who’s fired up by our mission and ready to build. You’ll thrive here if you adapt quickly, 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 Commercial Build Engineer  and work closely with a lean, high-trust team where everyone’s work matters.

  • 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
  • Supporting development builds and prototype systems
  • Supporting sea trials, deployments, and customer-facing technical operations
  • Performing root-cause troubleshooting with the ability to provide efficient resolutions

  • 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
  • Experience building processes from the inception to execution to include work instruction documentation
  • 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).

Bonus qualifications 

  • Experience with commercial marine vessels a plus
  • Experience in a fast-paced product development or startup environment
  • Comfortable pushing at a fast but sustainable pace
  • Enthusiasm for boating and the water

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.

  • Empathy for colleagues and for customers
  • Humility  in problem solving and collaboration

  • 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.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
