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.
The 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.
As an analyst at Antares your primary responsibility will be building and running thermal-fluids models of components and subsystems throughout the reactor core and power conversion system to ensure our designs will meet thermal, mechanical, operational, and performance requirements within the extreme environments of our R1 micro-reactor. Design engineers will rely on your modeling and technical expertise for iterative design feedback and optimization, while adhering to best practices for DFM (design for manufacturing) and maintaining a rapid pace of development. Antares aims to maintain close collaboration between testing and analysis teams, and to this end you may often be asked to provide technical support before, during, and after test campaigns. This may take the form of cooperative planning of testing goals, instrumentation requests, root cause analysis in the event of failures, post-test data review, and model validation/anchoring.
At 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:
Antares is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

Energy abundance unlocks progress. It powers missions, grows economies, strengthens national security, and expands what’s possible on Earth and beyond. But in the places where power is most critical, it’s often the hardest to deliver. That’s the problem we’re solving.
At Antares, we’re building compact nuclear microreactors to deliver reliable, mobile energy where it’s needed most: remote military bases, austere industrial sites, and, one day, deep space and underwater missions. The U.S. nuclear industry hasn’t seen true momentum in decades. We’re moving it forward with urgency, humility, and a commitment to building what’s needed now.
Our team includes engineers and operators from SpaceX, Relativity Space, Ursa Major, the White House, MIT, Rigetti Computing, and the U.S. Air Force. Backed by over $130M from top-tier investors, we’re focused on shipping hardware not hypotheticals.
