Description

• As a member of the engineering team, you will be Antares’ expert on mechanical design. You will work on all reactor, power conversion, and ground support equipment subsystems to ensure simplicity, manufacturability, and reliability in extreme maintenance-free environments. You will help develop and document our design best practices, requirements, and workflow. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of successful mass and form-efficient design, experience with exotic materials and superalloys, and will have at least a light background in structural analysis and test. Additionally, you will provide nuanced input into the system architecture trades and take a lead role in managing outsourced designs and commercial off the shelf parts.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline or physics • 5+ years of experience designing and analyzing mechanical systems via professional work experience, project/research-based student experience, or a combination of both.

Benefits

• Think 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. • Obsess 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 • Be 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." • Craftsmanship - We also focus on the inputs. We aspire to high-quality engineering for its own sake. As such, we invest in personal growth, learning, and developing a long-term career path for exceptional individual contributors. We embrace a beginner’s mindset, share knowledge, and never condescend the curious. • Loyally Collaborative - Team > Self. We win together. There is nothing more precious than a high-performing team.
