About The Position
Arc is on a mission to electrify the marine industry by rethinking powertrains, software, and vessel designs. The company has proven technology and is scaling production, with signed contracts and a pipeline for commercial applications including tugs, ferries, and defense. Arc is building the platform that powers the electric marine industry. The UX/UI Designer will be responsible for the full digital product experience, including the mobile app for owners, touchscreens on Arc vessels, and the marketing website.

The designer will collaborate with engineers, product managers, and the marketing team to create intuitive interfaces for complex systems like boat controls, tugboat subsystems, and fleet management.

Responsibilities
