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, Ultra Safe Nuclear, and Los Alamos National Laboratory. Antares has raised over $39M in venture capital from top-tier investors and has over $4M in government funding.
About The Team As a member of the nuclear engineering team, you will become the responsible engineer for a key component of the Antares reactor design such as reactivity controls and instrumentation, radiation shielding, fuels, materials, thermal hydraulics, safety, or licensing. The ideal candidate has a mix of industry and academic experience, and has worked in a team-oriented environment to mature nuclear concepts. While you may have a specialty, you’re not afraid to operate as a generalist in a growing organization.
Roles and Responsibilities
Assist with neutronics modeling and simulations using MCNP, Serpent, or SCALE
Support multiphysics analyses (thermal-hydraulics, heat transfer, structural mechanics)
Participate in experimental validation of simulation results
Collaborate with senior engineers on iterative design tasks
Contribute to documentation and regulatory reporting
Participate in hardware demonstrations and prototype testing
Basic Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Nuclear Engineering or related technical field
Familiarity with neutron transport software (MCNP, Serpent, SCALE)
Preferred Skills & Experience
Familiarity with Python or similar programming language
Coursework or internships involving multiphysics modeling
Interest or experience in microreactors, heat pipe cooled reactors, or other advanced reactors
Exposure to fast-paced project environments
Proven ability to quickly learn new technical concepts
Strong communication skills
Location We are located in Torrance, CA in a 145,000 square foot, brand new facility featuring large open spaces for team collaboration, R&D, and production, as well as easy access to the 405, 105, and 110 freeways. Our facility is in the heart of Los Angeles' vibrant emerging tech ecosystem alongside many other high growth startups and enterprises.
Culture At Antares, we tie each role to our founding document’s values. Here are the top five cultural values we think you should believe at your core to be successful:
Think in Systems - Energy and Defense are complex ecosystems with numerous stakeholders. Think probabilistically and then take action.
Obsess over the End User - The customer and end user are often not the same. We will never build globally competitive commercial products if we lose sight of end users.
Be Unconstrained by Convention - Our only limits are the laws of physics. Never shy away from a solution because it hasn’t been tried before.
Craftsmen - Focus on high-quality engineering, learning, and developing a long-term career path for exceptional individual contributors.
Seriously Optimistic - We’re ambitious and reward audacity while maintaining a positive, constructive culture.
