Antares
Manufacturing Engineer I-II, Machining
About this role
Antares is seeking a Manufacturing Engineer to develop and scale manufacturing processes for advanced nuclear microreactors, from prototype through production. You'll work across design, quality, and production teams to optimize manufacturability of critical reactor sub-systems using special processes like welding, brazing, and heat treatment.
What you'll do
- Own manufacturing process development for reactor sub-systems, scaling from prototype to production
- Conduct design reviews to assess manufacturability and drive design-for-manufacturing improvements
- Establish process control plans, qualification standards, and work instructions for special processes
- Analyze manufacturing discrepancies and lead root cause analysis and corrective actions
- Collaborate with design, materials, and production teams to ensure design compatibility with process capabilities
- Train technicians and engineers on best practices and process improvements
What they're looking for
- Special processes (welding, brazing, heat treatment, coatings, NDT)
- Design for manufacturing (DFM)
- Process qualification and control planning
- Aerospace or nuclear super-alloy manufacturing
- Hazardous materials handling
- CAD and tooling design
- Root cause analysis and problem-solving
- Work instruction and BOM management
