About The Position

Arc is on a mission to electrify the marine industry by rethinking powertrains, software, and vessel designs. We have proven technology and are scaling production, with significant contracts and a pipeline for commercial applications including tugs, ferries, and defense. We are looking for a UX/UI Designer to own the full digital product experience, including the mobile app for owners, touchscreens on vessels, and the marketing website. This role requires a self-starter who can handle both high-level UX strategy and detailed UI execution, collaborating with engineers, product managers, and the marketing team to create elegant and intuitive interfaces for complex systems like boat controls, tugboat subsystems, and fleet management.

Demonstrated ability to function as a Product Designer who understands business logic and engineering trade-offs.
A proven track record of setting product vision through design, with concrete examples of taking qualitative and quantitative research and synthesizing it into design solutions.
Fluency across the modern design toolchain ( Figma, Sketch, Adobe Creative Suite, etc.), and experience using AI tools as a force multiplier and creative engine.
Comfort working in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities.
Strong communication skills and the ability to receive and apply feedback.

Nice To Haves

Responsibilities

Leading the end-to-end design process across all platforms: wireframes, prototypes, and final UI assets ready for engineering handoff

Designing a compelling website that represents Arc’s premium brand
