Electrical Engineering Intern - Summer 2027

Antares, Los Angeles

The team

Antares is developing compact nuclear reactors to deliver reliable power in the world’s most demanding environments. We’re looking for an Electrical Engineering Intern to support the design and testing of the electrical systems that make those reactors work.

You will begin with focused starter projects before taking ownership of a longer-term project culminating in a technical deliverable and presentation. Interns are integrated into the engineering team and evaluated with expectations similar to those of a first-year junior engineer. The bar for success is high: you will be expected to use your mentor and available resources effectively, execute independently, communicate clearly, and identify additional issues and opportunities for improvement.

Location

We are located in Torrance, CA in a 322,000 square foot, brand new facility featuring large open spaces for team collaboration, R&D, and production, as well as easy access to the 405, 105, and 110 freeways. Our facility is in the heart of Los Angeles' vibrant emerging tech ecosystem alongside many other high growth startups and enterprises.

Culture

At Antares, we like to specifically tie each role to our founding document’s set of values–here are the top five cultural values we think you should believe at your core to be successful:

Think in Systems – Energy and Defense are complex ecosystems with numerous stakeholders with competing priorities, conflicting policies, perverse incentives, and emergent and path-dependent properties. First principles thinking alone is insufficient. Think probabilistically and then take action. “If you want to be certain, then you are apt to be obsolete.” Over-optimizing the components often degrades the system
Obsess over the End User – The customer and end user are often not the same. We will never build globally competitive commercial products if we lose sight of our end users and their entire interaction with the product life cycle
Be Unconstrained by Convention – Our only limits are the laws of physics. Many, even experts, will say what we are working on is impossible. They said the same about SpaceX reusing rockets. Generationally impactful companies, by definition, must accomplish the seemingly impossible. If it were easy, it would have already been done. Never shy away from a solution because it has never been tried before, and never choose to do something because that's “how it's always been done”
Go Where the Work Is – Never miss a chance to meet a customer, user, or stakeholder face to face, even if that means hopping on a plane. If you can’t make it, find a teammate who can channel your intentions and go in your place. Deep work can be done from anywhere, but we believe teams are built in person, and aim to maximize our time together
Operate in the Grey – Embrace nuance in pursuit of truth. Question every fundamental assumption
