Materials Engineer 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 Team

As a Materials Engineer II, you'll aid in the development and qualification of all
materials in Antares’ reactor systems. This will consist of developing experiments,
processes, and quality control as well as working with vendors and collaborators to
identify and rectify critical gaps in material behavior at our operating conditions.
This position requires the ability to learn quickly and develop a deep understanding
of a wide range of materials – including ceramics and metallic alloys – such that you
become the go-to subject matter expert at the company. The ideal candidate will
apply fundamental knowledge of materials science to the practical applications of
manufacturing in a fast-paced environment while also pushing innovation for the
next generation of materials – driving Antares to be a recognized leader in nuclear
materials

 

Roles and Responsibilities:

- Partake in the development and qualification for all materials in the reactor,
including lifetime testing, cross-institutional collaboration, and property
evaluation

- Design and conduct physical, thermal, and mechanical testing of materials
that replicates the reactor environment

- Employ s...
