Responsibilities
- Build software-hardware interface tools for R&D testing, experimental campaigns, prototype development, and engineering analysis.
- Develop test automation frameworks for lab equipment, instrumentation, DAQ systems, sensors, controllers, power supplies, and prototype hardware.
- Create interfaces and workflows to collect, process, store, visualize, and report engineering test data.
- Build tools for experiment setup, test execution, data review, anomaly detection, and post-processing.
- Develop Python-based data acquisition, analysis, visualization, and automated reporting workflows.
- Support verification and validation by improving test repeatability, data quality, traceability, and reporting.
- Debug software, instrumentation, networking, DAQ, and hardware-in-the-loop issues in lab and test environments.
- Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, nuclear, controls, manufacturing, and test teams to establish effective R&D software and V&V practices.
- Maintain documentation for software tools, interfaces, data schemas, test automation frameworks, and operating procedures.
- Create lightweight but robust software infrastructure that preserves configuration control and data integrity.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, Physics, EECS, Nuclear Engineering, or a related technical field.
- 4+ years of experience developing software for engineering, test, R&D, lab, data acquisition, hardware integration, automation, simulation, or analysis environments.
- Strong programming ability in Python and C++.
- Experience with hardware, instruments, sensors, controllers, databases, APIs, test automation, data acquisition, data processing, or engineering analysis is preferred.
- Experience with scientific and data tooling such as NumPy, pandas, SciPy, matplotlib, Plotly, Dash, and Jupyter is preferred.
- Experience with DAQ systems, lab instruments, serial communication, CAN, Modbus, TCP/IP, OPC UA, MQTT, SCPI, VISA, NI hardware, LabVIEW, NI-DAQmx, or cDAQ systems is preferred.
- Experience with HIL, SIL, simulation integration, test automation, digital engineering workflows, or regulated and safety-critical environments is preferred.
- Familiarity with version control, code review, testing, debugging, logging, documentation, maintainable design, requirements traceability, test evidence, configuration management, and engineering quality systems is preferred.
- Ability to translate ambiguous R&D needs into useful tools, analyze experimental results, collaborate across engineering teams, and provide technical leadership or mentorship is preferred.
About Antares
Antares designs and manufactures compact, transportable nuclear microreactors that deliver mobile power to remote military bases, austere industrial sites, and future space and underwater missions. The privately held company, founded in 2023 and headquartered in Los Angeles, monetizes through development contracts and eventual sales of microreactor systems; it holds contracts with U.S. military services, NASA, and the Department of Energy.
