The marine industry supports recreation, global commerce, and national defense. Arc is on a mission to electrify the marine industry by rethinking powertrains, software, and vessel designs from first principles.

• Lead RFQs end to end: build should-cost models, compare quotes on total landed cost, and recommend suppliers to cross-functional stakeholders.
• Secure pricing, payment terms, tooling ownership, IP protection, and capacity commitments that support cost, quality, and delivery targets.
• Work with Engineering, Quality, and Production from early design through ramp: give DFM and cost feedback, plan tooling and first-article builds, and ensure supply is ready before each program milestone.
• Identify and mitigate disruption risk across geopolitical, tariff, capacity, and single-source exposure, and maintain contingency plans for critical parts.
• Own supplier scorecards and KPIs and run corrective action and supplier development where needed.
• Help establish the processes, tools, and data standards that let us scale without adding chaos.
• Hold commodity-level cost targets and forecasts, and report cost, risk, and savings to leadership.
• Travel: Up to 25%, including domestic and international supplier visits.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Business, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 7+ years in global sourcing, procurement, or supply management.
• Experience sourcing complex electromechanical or discrete manufactured products in a hardware company.
• Track record negotiating supplier contracts and delivering measurable cost, quality, or delivery results.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and BOMs, and to hold technical conversations with engineers and suppliers.
• Proficiency with ERP/MRP systems and comfort working with data to drive decisions.

Bonus Qualifications:

• Experience in EV, battery, marine, automotive, aerospace, or other regulated or high-performance hardware industries.
• Sourcing experience in Asia and/or Europe, plus familiarity with tariffs, customs, and trade compliance.
• Experience with supplier quality processes.
• Data skills beyond Excel.
• Prior experience at a startup or scale-up.
• Relevant certifications.

What we offer:

• Base salary: $160,000 / $190,000 annually.
• Highly competitive equity grants.
• Semi-annual bonuses tied to your impact.
