About the role

  • We are seeking a Senior Nuclear Integration Engineer to ensure Antares' nuclear programs are translated into executable, deployable systems.
  • This role sits at the intersection of engineering, operations, and external stakeholders, and is responsible for ensuring that reactors can be successfully deployed, started, and operated as complete systems.
  • You will serve as a technical integrator and interface across internal teams, key stakeholders, and regulators.

Responsibilities

  • Serve as a technical interface with regulators, partners, and key stakeholders, representing Antares' nuclear approach and addressing technical questions
  • Participate in and drive technical discussions, reviews, and working groups with internal and external stakeholders
  • Support planning and execution of deployments by ensuring technical requirements are well-defined and achievable
  • This position is ideal for someone who is comfortable operating across boundaries both technical, organizational, as well as external, and who can drive clarity and execution in complex, ambiguous environments.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in engineering (nuclear, mechanical, chemical, aerospace, or related field)
  • 4+ years of experience in nuclear, aerospace, defense, or other highly regulated technical environments
  • 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
  • If you can't make it, find a teammate who can channel your intentions and go in your place.
  • Familiarity with nuclear safety and compliance programs

Nice to have

Skills

  • Strong ability to connect technical, regulatory, and operational requirements into executable plans

  • Experience supporting reactor operations, startup, commissioning, or deployment
  • Background in the U.S. Navy nuclear program, national laboratories, or commercial nuclear industry
  • Experience in field engineering, test operations, or site-based project execution
  • Think in Systems
  • Obsess over the End User
  • Be Unconstrained by Convention
  • Go Where the Work Is
  • Operate in the Grey
  • Embrace nuance in pursuit of truth. Question every fundamental assumption
