Electric boat maker expanding into commercial and defense vessels
Arc designs and manufactures electric boats in Los Angeles and is pushing its platform from recreational models into tugs, ferries and defense craft. The stack pairs industrial controls (EtherCAT, Modbus, Ethernet/IP) and embedded C++/Rust with Siemens NX, Teamcenter and CATIA, a hardware-first profile. Accelerating, engineering-heavy hiring alongside manufacturing and supply-quality work points to a company moving from prototype to production scale.
