Electrical Engineer I/II
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 Role
As an Electrical Engineer at Antares, you will contribute to the architecture, design, testing, and integration of instrumentation and control (I&C) and power distribution systems for advanced nuclear microreactors.
You will work closely with systems, mechanical, software, licensing, and test teams to ensure electrical designs meet performance, safety, and regulatory requirements across multiple applications. The role includes hands-on electrical design, hardware development, and preparation of instrumentation and control documentation that supports DOE and NRC licensing
Key Responsibilities
- Design electrical systems for reactor instrumentation, control, and power distribution, from early concept through detailed implementation.
- Develop schematics, wiring diagrams, and interface definitions for sensors, control hardware, and electrical subsystems.
- Review and provide feedback on schematics, wiring diagrams, harnesses, and control panel designs.
- Participate in design reviews, ensuring electrical and I&C sections are technically sound and traceable.
- Assist with hazard analysis, identifying electrical or instrumentation failure modes and mitigation...
