Electrical Engineering Intern - Summer 2027
About The Position
Antares is seeking an Electrical Engineering Intern for the Summer 2027 program. This internship offers a unique opportunity to work on the design, build, and testing of fission microreactors. Interns contribute to real projects from day one, working alongside experienced engineers and experts. The program is designed for students who are eager to learn by doing and contribute to the next generation of nuclear energy. The internship will involve focused starter projects followed by a longer-term project with a technical deliverable and presentation. Interns are expected to integrate into the engineering team, execute independently, communicate clearly, and identify areas for improvement, with expectations similar to a first-year junior engineer.
