About the role
Antares Industries is seeking a Senior or Staff Nuclear Safety Analysis Engineer to take ownership of the safety analysis product delivered in support of the final design of the Mark 1 reactor. This individual will lead intact-event (non-breach) safety analysis, drive source term calculations rooted in TRISO fuel behavior and qualification, and translate reactor physics and neutronics uncertainty into radiological dose results. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- B.S. in Nuclear, Mechanical, or a related field (M.S. or Ph.D. preferred)
- 4+ years of relevant reactor safety analysis experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience
- Working knowledge of TRISO (or other advanced) fuel performance and qualification, including mechanistic failure modes of fuel coating layers under irradiation and thermal loading
- Experience developing source terms and radiological dose consequence calculations (e.g., mechanistic or alternative source term methods, radionuclide release and transport, dose driver identification)
- Demonstrated ability in reactor physics / neutronics fundamentals and how model and nuclear data uncertainties propagate into downstream safety and dose calculations
- Familiarity with PIRT development or comparable phenomena-scoping methods to right-size analysis scope against schedule and risk
More about this role
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.
