Responsibilities
- Architect and build a shared platform for hardware interfaces, test execution, data acquisition, live monitoring, and analysis.
- Develop reusable drivers and adapters for sensors, data acquisition systems, controllers, laboratory instruments, and custom electronics.
- Build configurable test sequencing, equipment state management, pass/fail criteria, and repeatable execution capabilities.
- Develop operator interfaces for test configuration, equipment commands, measurement monitoring, and failure diagnosis.
- Implement command validation, equipment limits, fault handling, and recovery behavior with hardware and controls engineers.
- Capture synchronized measurements, logs, test parameters, hardware configurations, calibration information, and software versions.
- Build tools to review test runs, compare performance, identify anomalies, and generate reports.
- Support reliable operation on local test stations during communication interruptions, device failures, and network outages.
- Establish software testing, version control, deployment, and documentation practices for multiple test stands and users.
- Participate in hardware bring-up, test campaigns, and root-cause investigations.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Demonstrated experience owning production software from architecture through deployment and maintenance.
- Strong technical and problem-solving skills with proficiency in at least one modern programming language.

- Hands-on experience integrating software with instruments, sensors, controllers, data acquisition systems, or other physical hardware.
- Familiarity with serial, TCP/IP, CAN, Modbus, SCPI, or VISA hardware communication interfaces.
- Experience capturing, storing, and processing measurement data.
- Strong debugging skills across software, communications, and hardware integration.
- Ability to translate engineering needs into clear requirements and deliver tools used by multidisciplinary teams.
- Preferred experience with test automation platforms, hardware-in-the-loop systems, or automated manufacturing test infrastructure.
- Preferred experience developing web or desktop interfaces for equipment control and live data visualization.
- Preferred familiarity with time-series databases, streaming telemetry, timestamp synchronization, and test data management.
- Preferred experience with laboratory instrumentation and industrial equipment such as power supplies, electronic loads, thermocouples, pressure transducers, and programmable controllers.
- Preferred experience with simulation, device emulation, and fault injection for validating hardware-facing software.
- Preferred familiarity with Linux, containerized deployments, CI/CD, and software distribution across multiple test stations.
- Preferred experience supporting traceability, configuration management, and controlled test procedures in aerospace, energy, industrial, or other high-reliability environments.
Benefits
- The role supports work on deployable microreactors for terrestrial, underwater, and space applications.
- The team aims to maximize in-person collaboration while recognizing that deep work can be done from anywhere.
- Applicants must meet stated ITAR eligibility requirements or be eligible to obtain the required U.S. Department of State authorizations.
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.
