About the role
As a Senior Turbomachinery Aerodynamics Engineer, you will own the aerodynamic and aeromechanical design of compressor and turbine stages for Antares nuclear reactors. You will develop turbomachinery from early sizing and architecture trades through detailed aerodynamic design, structural and life analysis, and test validation. You will work closely with rotordynamics, mechanical design, manufacturing, test, and systems engineers throughout development.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, or a related engineering discipline
- 5+ years of professional experience designing compressors, pumps, and/or turbines
- Strong understanding of turbomachinery aerodynamics and aerodynamic design methods
- Experience with structural analysis of turbomachinery rotating components
- Knowledge of life-limiting mechanisms in high-speed rotating hardware including fatigue, creep, and modal resonance
- Experience making engineering tradeoffs involving performance, structural margin, life, manufacturability, cost, and schedule
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.
