Full Job Description
About Us At Antares, our long-term mission is to make clean energy abundant from Earth to the Asteroid Belt. We’re fueled by the belief that advanced nuclear energy can strengthen our military, solve the climate crisis, elevate global living standards, and expand humanity's presence in outer space. To achieve our mission, we’re building mass-producible, inherently safe, deployable microreactors that can be used terrestrially, underwater, and in space. Formed in 2023, the Antares team hails from SpaceX, The White House, MIT, Rigetti Computing, The Air Force, General Atomics, Relativity Space, Ursa Major, and National Laboratories like Los Alamos, Idaho, and Oak Ridge. Antares has raised over $130M in venture capital from top-tier investors and has over $13M in government funding. About the Team As a member of the Antares R&D team, you will be an expert on manufacturing and assembly of cutting edge nuclear reactors. You will be an instrumental member developing Antares’ first R&D facility, inclusive of layout, special processes, hazardous material handling, and machine procurement and commissioning. You will help develop and document key special processes, requirements, and workflow that enable rapid product iteration. On the design side, you will be responsible for working with all teams regularly to ensure parts and assemblies are manufacturable and integrable, focusing on the system architecture level. As the product matures from concept to prototype and beyond, you will be responsible for leading the manufacturing planning process and will assist with in-house manufacturing vs. outsourcing trades and vendor selection. The ideal candidate will have experience with special processes such as welding, brazing, heat treatment, hazardous materials, non-destructive inspections, coatings, or other typical processes used with super-alloys. They should be able to confidently identify (or know how to research) appropriate manufacturing methods and establish a process control
