As an analyst at Antares your primary responsibility will be building and running thermal-structural models of components and subsystems throughout the reactor core and power conversion system to ensure our designs will meet thermal, mechanical, operational, and performance requirements within the extreme environments of our R1 micro-reactor. Design engineers will rely on your modeling and technical expertise for iterative design feedback and optimization, while adhering to best practices for DFM (design for manufacturing) and maintaining a rapid pace of development. Antares aims to maintain close collaboration between testing and analysis teams, and to this end you may often be asked to provide technical support before, during, and after test campaigns. This may take the form of cooperative planning of testing goals, instrumentation requests, root cause analysis in the event of failures, post-test data review, and model validation/anchoring.

  • Build, run, and maintain FEA (Finite Element Analysis) models of reactor components and subsystem assemblies
  • Provide thermal-mechanical assessments of designs and ensure they meet the static, dynamic, thermal, fatigue, and creep requirements set out by Antares and our regulatory agencies
  • Collaborate with designers and responsible engineers to provide guidance on initial sizing, material selection, and design feedback based on analytical results
  • Compile detailed documentation of analytical results and communicate key results, assumptions, and limitations to key stakeholders throughout the company
  • Provide support to test engineers in the form of collaborative test design, instrumentation selection, and data review to ensure test campaigns provide the necessary data to validate our models
  • Develop internal tools and calculators to enable other engineers to quickly and independently perform analytical assessments of their designs without the need for detailed finite element models
  • Provide technical mentorship and guidance to other engineers and across teams
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering
  • 3+ years experience performing thermal and structural analysis
  • Experience building and running Non-Linear Thermal and Structural Finite Element Analysis (FEA) models
  • Competent in use of Computer Aided Design (CAD) software for design modification and model defeaturing (Siemens NX or similar)
  • Comfortable in fast-paced environment with rapid design iteration loops
  • Low Cycle and High Cycle Fatigue Analysis
  • Participation in regulatory qualification or certification programs for safety critical systems in the aerospace or nuclear industry
  • Creep Analysis for high temperature applications
  • Fracture Analysis and acceptable flaw characterization in production environments
  • Dynamic Loads Analysis (Random Vibe, Modal Analysis, Explicit Dynamics)
  • Tool writing in Python, MATLAB, or other programming language
  • Familiar with ASME BPVC Section III Div 5
  • Experience building and running Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models
  • Steady and Transient Thermal Modeling
