About the role
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 Arc’s Supervisor. Production you will own one of Arc's most technically demanding production organizations, responsible for manufacturing our high-voltage battery systems and powertrain subassemblies—including battery packs, harnesses, motors, and other electromechanical systems that sit at the heart of every boat we build. 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 Owning the safety, quality, delivery, and productivity performance of the Battery, Electrical Systems, and Mechanical subs manufacturing area, ensuring production targets are achieved while maintaining exceptional workmanship standards. Leading, coaching, and developing a team of production technicians responsible for battery pack assembly, high-voltage systems, harnessing, motors, and electromechanical subassemblies. Executing the daily production plan by balancing labor, removing constraints, and ensuring material, tooling, and engineering support are in place to meet schedule. Partnering closely with Hardware Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Supply Chain, Quality, and Production leadership to rapidly resolve technical issues and enable production at scale. Driving structured root cause analysis for electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing issues, implementing robust corrective actions that improve first-pass yield and long-term reliability. Continuously improving assembly processes, tooling, ergonomics, workstation layouts, and standard work to improve safety, quality, throughput, and labor efficiency. Leading implementation of engineering changes, process updates, and new product introductions while minimizing disruption to production. Monitoring key manufacturing metrics—including safety, first-pass yield, defects, labor efficiency, throughput, and schedule attainment—to identify improvement opportunities and drive operational excellence. Maintaining rigorous standards for high-voltage safety, workmanship, ESD controls, tooling readiness, inventory accuracy, and overall manufacturing discipline. Developing future team leads while helping build a scalable manufacturing organization capable of supporting production growth and efficiency Fostering a culture of ownership, excellence, accountability, and continuous improvement through daily coaching and hands-on leadership on the production floor.
