About the role

As Arc's Product Leader, you will own the industrial design of the vessels themselves, the software experiences that run them, and the product vision and strategy that ties them together. That means being a rare kind of generalist: a design leader who is equally at home shaping the lines of a hull, critiquing a digital interface, and building the research-backed frameworks that turn market insight into a product thesis.

What they're looking for

  • 10+ years of experience in design, with 5+ years in design leadership roles
  • Depth in both software (UI/UX) and hardware (industrial) design
  • Proven track record of setting product vision through a structured process, and shipping complex products
  • Demonstrated ability to grow teams, mentor designers, and build design organizations
  • Experience building supplier relationships and coordinating with them on design execution
  • Strong technical understanding of manufacturing processes
More about this role

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
