Antares

Overview

Antares is on a mission to make clean energy abundant from Earth to the Asteroid Belt by building mass-producible, inherently safe microreactors. The Senior Structures Engineer will lead the design and development of critical reactor structures in a multidisciplinary environment.

Responsibilities

• Perform thermal, mechanical, and structural analyses for reactor structural components.
• Define system architecture, operating limits, design margins, and concepts of operation.
• Develop engineering documentation to support design reviews and verification activities.
• Lead design, fabrication, and execution of component- and system-level testing.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate structural systems into reactor design.
• Support supplier selection, technical evaluations, and resolution of manufacturing issues.
• Present technical work at design reviews and provide technical leadership throughout the lifecycle.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 5+ years of professional experience in designing and developing structural systems.
• Experience in structural design, including hand calculations and material selection.
• Experience using finite element analysis (FEA) tools for structural performance evaluation.
• Knowledge of structural design principles and load path development.
• Demonstrated ability to work effectively on multidisciplinary engineering teams.

Additional Information

• Ability to work long hours and weekends as necessary to support critical milestones.
