About the role

  • Assist with hazard analysis, identifying electrical or instrumentation failure modes and mitigations.

Responsibilities

  • Design electrical systems for reactor instrumentation, control, and power distribution, from early concept through detailed implementation.
  • Develop schematics, wiring diagrams, and interface definitions for sensors, control hardware, and electrical subsystems.
  • Review and provide feedback on schematics, wiring diagrams, harnesses, and control panel designs.
  • Participate in design reviews, ensuring electrical and I&C sections are technically sound and traceable.
  • Support test activities including bench testing, HIL/HITL, and integration campaigns.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with systems, mechanical, software, and licensing teams.
  • As 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.
  • The role includes hands-on electrical design, hardware development, and preparation of instrumentation and control documentation that supports DOE and NRC licensing

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related field.
  • Experience designing, analyzing, or integrating electrical systems.
  • Hands-on experience with lab instrumentation such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, and signal generators.
  • Ability to reason about failure modes and safe states in electrical or control systems.
  • Comfort working in fast-paced, ambiguous hardware development environments.
  • Experience working in regulated or safety-critical environments (nuclear, aerospace, defense, maritime, or industrial).
  • Hands-on experience with hardware bring-up, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis.
  • Familiarity with relevant codes, standards, or guidance (e.g., IEEE, IEC, DOE nuclear standards).
  • Familiarity with GDE-987 processes or similar hardware qualification paths.
  • 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
