General Counsel

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 $600M in venture capital from top-tier investors and has over $13M in government funding.

As GC, you will serve as a trusted advisor and strategic partner to the CEO and executive team. You will lead legal and compliance functions across the company, and you will partner closely with engineering, operations, finance, supply chain, business development, and people teams to enable rapid execution while ensuring Antares operates within an appropriate legal and regulatory framework.

You are not just a legal advisor; you are a builder, a business partner, and a key member of the leadership team.
