Senior CAD Designer

Arc Boat Company•Torrance, CA

15d•$150,000 - $175,000•Onsite

About The Position

As Arc's Senior CAD Designer, you will own the CAD backbone of our vessels — the models, the drawing packages, and the standards the rest of Engineering builds against. That means producing production-intent CAD for hull structures, mechanical systems, and powertrain integration; releasing drawing packages a vendor can quote without a phone call; and setting the CAD standards that keep a fast-growing team building off the same source of truth. 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.

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related Engineering field
5+ years of mechanical design and drafting, with a track record of releasing drawings to production
Expert in CAD (NX required), including sheet metal, weldments, Class A surfacing, and large-assembly management
Demonstrated Teamcenter administration experience, including workflow creation, troubleshooting, and training.
Strong command of GD&T per ASME Y14.5, with experience releasing parts to vendors across machining, fabrication, composites, or molding
Thrives with incomplete requirements and fast-changing designs
Communicates clearly with engineers, technicians, and suppliers

Nice To Haves

Marine hardware experience preferred; automotive, aerospace, or EV also relevant
Background in composite structures or large weldment design
Experience with high-voltage packaging, wire harness, or fluid routing
Experience partnering with industrial designers to turn sketches into Class A surfaces
Building CAD standards and PDM structure from scratch at an early-stage company

Releasing fully dimensioned drawing packages to manufacturing and suppliers, applying GD&T per ASME Y14.5 and running tolerance stack-ups on critical interfaces

Setting Engineering's CAD standards, templates, naming conventions, and revision control
Owning the boat-level eBOM and mass properties
Partnering with manufacturing and supply chain on DFM to catch problems while they're still pixels
Supporting prototype builds on the floor and fold what you learn back into the models
