Turbomachinery Engineer
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.
About the Role
As a Turbomachinery Engineer, you will be a key member of the Reactor Hardware Team, working to design and build turbomachinery for Antares nuclear reactors. You will own turbomachinery components through their full design lifecycle as a subject matter expert, and work in close collaboration with manufacturing, test, and quality engineers.
The ideal candidate will have expert level knowledge in one or more areas of turbomachinery design, such as compressor or turbine aerodynamics, rotordynamics and bearings, secondary flows, creep and fatigue analysis, or other related areas, and proven experience taking designs from clean sheet to production.
Roles & Responsibilities:
- Design, analyze, build, and test turbomachinery for Antares nuclear reactors.
- Develop turbomachinery components from concept through manufacturing and qualification testing.
- Prepare engineering documentation that supports design, manufacturing, and testing.
- Work with manufacturing, test, and quality engineers to develop hardware.
- Investigate turbomachinery issues during development and qualification testing, identify root causes, and implement corrective actions.
- Improve turbo...
