Manufacturing Engineering Intern

Arc Boat Company•Torrance, CA

About The Position

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. 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 Production Manufacturing team as a summer intern from June 15th-August 21st 2025. 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
