About Us

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.

About the Team

As an early member of Antares' quality systems function, you will help build the operating backbone that connects supplier execution, manufacturing, purchasing, quality, engineering, and finance. This role owns the practical systems and workflows that keep physical work moving: manufacturing execution, purchasing, supplier status, material readiness, inspections, exceptions, approvals, and the data structures that make those workflows reliable.

This is not a traditional dashboard or reporting analyst role. The ideal candidate is a systems-minded operator who can administer enterprise tools, map real business processes, build automations and AI-enabled workflows, as well as sit with users to make the system match how work actually gets done. You will partner with supply chain, manufacturing, quality, engineering, finance, software, and external suppliers to create workflows that track commitments, surface blockers, trigger escalations, and help the team execute faster without losing configuration control or compliance readiness.

Roles & Responsibilities:

• Translate supply chain, manufacturing, quality, engineering, and finance requirements into reliable system workflows, data models, forms, approvals, exception logic, permissions, and operating procedures.

• Design and implement agentic and AI-enabled workflows that help track supplier commitments, purchase order status, material readiness, action items, nonconformances, expediting needs, open risks, and required follow-ups.

• Implement anomaly detection algorithms to identify gaps in quality processes and help prioritize system architecture improvements.

• Build practical automations using SQL, Python, APIs, low-code tools, Robotic Process Automation, webhooks, or workflow engines to reduce manual status chasing and improve execution visibility across internal teams and suppliers.

• Develop human-in-the-loop AI workflows that can summarize communications, extract commitments, propose next actions, draft follow-ups, flag missing data, and escalate exceptions throughout enterprise systems while preserving user accountability and review.
