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.\nThe Antares team hails from SpaceX, the White House, the Pentagon, the Department of Energy, MIT, Rigetti Computing, General Atomics, Relativity Space, Ursa Major, and National Laboratories like Idaho, Oak Ridge, Los Alamos, and Savannah River. Antares has raised over $600M in venture capital from top-tier investors and has hundreds of million-dollars on contract with the military services, NASA, and the Department of Energy.\nAbout the Role\nAs 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.\nYou 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\nKey Responsibilities\nDesign electrical systems for reactor instrumentation, control, and power distribution, from early concept through detailed implementation.\n\nDevelop schematics, wiring diagrams, and interface definitions for sensors, control hardware, and electrical subsystems.\n\nReview and provide feedback on schematics, wiring diagrams, harnesses, and control panel designs.\n\nParticipate in design reviews, ensuring electrical and I&C sections are technically sound and traceable.\n\nAssist with hazard analysis, identifying electrical or instrumentation failure modes and mitigations.\n\nSupport test activities including bench testing, HIL/HITL, and integration campaigns.\n\nCollaborate cross-functionally with systems, mechanical, software, and licensing teams.\n\nBasic Qualifications\nBachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related field.\n\nExperience designing, analyzing, or integrating electrical systems.\n\nStrong grasp of electrical fundamentals, including DC and AC circuits, impedance, and transient behavior.\n\nAbility to create, read, and review electrical schematics and wiring diagrams.\n\nFamiliarity with electrical design, simulation, or PCB layout tools (e.g., SPICE-based simulators, schematic capture, or layout review tools).\n\nHands-on experience with lab instrumentation such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, and signal generators.\n\nAbility to reason about failure modes and safe states in electrical or control systems.\n\nComfort working in fast-paced, ambiguous hardware development environments.\n\nStrong written and verbal communication skills.\n\nPreferred Skills & Experience\nExperience working in regulated or safety-critical environments (nuclear, aerospace, defense, maritime, or industrial).\n\nUnderstanding of fail-safe design, redundancy, voting logic, or diversity in control systems.\n\nHands-on experience with hardware bring-up, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis.\n\nExposure to HIL/HITL testing, automated test frameworks, or data acquisition platforms.\n\nFamiliarity with relevant codes, standards, or guidance (e.g., IEEE, IEC, DOE nuclear standards).\n\nFamiliarity with GDE-987 processes or similar hardware qualification paths.\n\nExperience contributing to formal design reviews, hazard analyses, or configuration-controlled documentation.\n\nDemonstrated ability to take ownership of hardware problems, work through ambiguity, and drive issues to closure.\n\nCompensation:\nElectrical Engineer I: 120k-135k\nElectrical Engineer II: 135k-160k\nCulture\nAt Antares, we like to specifically tie each role to our founding document’s set of values-here are the top five cultural values we think you should believe at your core to be successful:\nThink in Systems - Energy and Defense are complex ecosystems with numerous stakeholders with competing priorities, conflicting policies, perverse incentives, and emergent and path-dependent properties. First principles thinking alone is insufficient. Think probabilistically and then take action. “If you want to be certain, then you are apt to be obsolete.” Over-optimizing the components often degrades the system\n\nObsess over the End User - The customer and end user are often not the same. We will never build globally competitive commercial products if we lose sight of our end users and their entire interaction with the product life cycle\n\nBe Unconstrained by Convention - Our only limits are the laws of physics. Many, even experts, will say what we are working on is impossible. They said the same about SpaceX reusing rockets. Generationally impactful companies, by definition, must accomplish the seemingly impossible. If it were easy, it would have already been done. Never shy away from a solution because it has never been tried before, and never choose to do something because that's “how it's always been done”\n\nGo Where the Work Is - Never miss a chance to meet a customer, user, or stakeholder face to face, even if that means hopping on a plane. If you can’t make it, find a teammate who can channel your intentions and go in your place. Deep work can be done from anywhere, but we believe teams are built in person, and aim to maximize our time together\n\nOperate in the Grey - Embrace nuance in pursuit of truth. Question every fundamental assumption\n\nEqual Opportunity\nAntares is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Employment decisions are based solely on merit, competence, and qualifications, without regard to race, color, religion, gender, national origin/ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, mental or physical disability, or any other legally protected status.\nITAR Requirements\nTo conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
