What are the responsibilities and job description for the Field Service Technician position at arcboatcompany?
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.
This is a full-time, on-site role at our Los Angeles headquarters. You'll report to the Field Service Technician Lead and work closely with a lean, high-trust team where everyone’s work matters.
Core responsibilities
- Maintaining and servicing customer boats in the field as well as our fleet of internal boats
- Contributing to improving service standards, protocols, and processes
- Collaborating with engineering and production teams to implement improvements on boat designs, production methods, or service processes.
- Becoming an expert in assembling, troubleshooting, and disassembling all major boat systems
Basic qualifications
- High school degree or GED certification
- Proficiency using mechanical and electric hand tools
- Willingness to travel at least 50% on average, and up to 75% during busy periods
- Extensive experience building and troubleshooting electromechanical systems such as electric motors, batteries, sensors, electronics, controls, pneumatics, etc.
- Experience interpreting engineering drawings, work instructions, electrical schematics, and product data sheets
- Ability to stand 6-10 hours per day and lift up to 50 lbs
- Ability to cultivate positive relationships with all external parties while working in the field
- Ability to operate independently and make technical decisions supported by data
- Excellent written and verbal professional communication skills
Bonus qualifications
- Prior experience in a fast-paced manufacturing setting
- Comfortable pushing an intense but sustainable pace
- Experience driving and trailering boats
