Arc Boat Company
Electrical Integration Engineer (Harness Design)
Arc Boat Company, Torrance, California, United States, 90504
Electrical Integration Engineer (Harness Design)
What we’re building
Every 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 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.
You will join our Electrical Integration Engineering team reporting to [recruiter]. You will work from our headquarters in Torrance, CA. 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.
Core responsibilities and qualifications
Support the Electrical Integration team by contributing to harness designs throughout the full product lifecycle, from initial concept through production release and implementation
Specify wire gauges, shielding, connectors, and protective coverings based on electrical and environmental requirements
Creation of harness schematic diagrams and 1:1 scale formboards
Work closely with Mechanical Engineering team and other Electrical Integration team members to ensure mechanical fit requirements
Contribute continuous improvement to current production harness designs
Actively participate in both R&D and production environments
Contribute to selection of LV and HV components, and placement in the vehicle through CAD
Contribute to production environment work instructions related to created designs
Support wire harness outsourcing efforts as consulted engineer
2-5 years experience with harness design process in Marine, Automotive, Aerospace, or similar
Harness CAD routing experience (preferably in Siemens NX)
Harness Schematic & Formboard creation (preferably in Zuken E.3)
Experience with selection and qualification of wire harness crimp tooling
Experience with wire harness testing and validation tools (Cirris)
Experience with automotive communication protocols (CAN, LIN, Ethernet, etc)
Experience with implementation of designs into production, both on-site and through outsourcing partners
Hands on experience in harness building
Solid electrical fundamentals and electrical engineering knowledge
Experience with High Voltage harnessing and cable design
Experience with marine or automotive ABYC, ISO, or IEC standards
Experience with EMI mitigation, both at component and system integration level
Experience in PCB design, using schematic capture and layout tools
Familiar with CAD to Formboard bridging tools (NX to Zuken Bridge)
Experience in Design Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) process
Ability to articulate and defend engineering decisions
Clear written and verbal communication
Comfortable pushing at a fast but sustainable pace
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.
Our values We move with urgency and build with care. We value these five things above all else:
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, 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 offer
Base salary P2:$140,000 P3: $170,000
Ownership
– Equity in Arc
99% employer-paid health coverage
– Medical, dental, and vision
Arc Water Fund
– Annual stipend to get out on the water, however you choose
Captain Training
– Get certified to take the boat out with friends and family
401(k) access
– Plan your future
Semi-annual bonuses
– Tied to your impact, not just your tenure
Daily team lunches, snacks, and good coffee while onsite
Parental leave
– Because family comes first
Boat days
– Yes, we actually go out on the water. A lot.
A chance to define the future of boating
The ability to drive positive environmental change through your work
Hope to hear from you soon!
