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.
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.
About the Role
Every system we build is tied together by wire and some of that wire carries safety-class functions. As our Electrical Integration Engineer, you'll own that layer end to end: from wire and connector selection, through schematic and routed 3D model, through a release package a supplier can build from without a single clarifying email, all the way to harnesses coming off the bench on our own floor.
In this role you would be responsible for interfacing harnesses between systems and the internal harnesses inside each electrical system and distribution cabinet, across both testbed and safety-class applications. Beyond the design itself, you'll own the toolchain, the release process, the BOM, the supplier relationships, and the in-house build. If you like being the person who defines how something gets done, not just the person doing it, this role is built for that.
Roles and Responsibilities:
-
Own harness CAD design: Route, bundle, and constrain every harness in the 3D model: interface harnesses between systems and internal harnesses for each electrical system and distribution cabinet. Manage bend radii, service loops, strain relief, clearance to thermal and moving hardware, and connector accessibility for both assembly and field service.
-
Own harness schematics: Develop and release wiring diagrams, wire lists and from-to charts, connector pinout tables, splice topology, and shield and grounding schemes for every harness.
-
Own component selection: Choose wire type and gauge against current, derating, voltage drop, insulation, temperature, radiation, and flex requirements. Select connectors, contacts, backshells, and sealing. Specify and qualify the crimp tooling, dies, and calibration and pull-test regime that go with them.
