Mission Manager
2 weeks ago
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.
Formed in 2023, the Antares team hails from SpaceX, The White House, MIT, Rigetti Computing, The Air Force, General Atomics, Relativity Space, Ursa Major, Ultra Safe Nuclear, and Los Alamos National Laboratory. Antares has raised over $39M in venture capital from top-tier investors and has over $4M in government funding.
About the Team
The Mission Engineering team at Antares owns real-world missions to demonstrate and deploy microreactors. This includes programs and projects associated with DoD (Department of Defense), DOE (Department of Energy) and other entities that endeavor to deploy nuclear systems. The team ensures that our products work as intended by our users across all systems and disciplines, from initial reactor design to reliability analysis and beyond. We ensure that all aspects of mission design are considered, from configuration management, customer success, reliability and reusability, and that every system is engineered to meet the demands of operating environments on Earth, underwater, and in space.
As a Mission Manager, you will lead an emerging business vertical and help define how to get to our end goal - launching products which enable critical real-world operations. You will work with our internal team to educate engineers on the mission requirements, educate our customers on emerging technology, and act as a liaison to ensure that reactors can be deployed into the field.
The ideal candidate will have experience directly interfacing with or working within DoD/DOE and will have an understanding of government procurement processes. Candidates should be comfortable with the technical details of complex aerospace or defense systems and will be expected to be able to effectively communicate across all associated engineering disciplines.
Roles and Responsibilities:
- Own all aspects of project management associated with ongoing customer-facing development programs
- Regularly distill engineering information and create feedback loops to ensure alignment with user requirements and intended use cases.
- Ideate and propose new development programs to DOD and DOE funding sources
- Build out compliance processes associated with contractual requirements and clauses
- Craft requirements management processes to connect customer feedback into engineering design processes
- Collaborate with engineering teams to ensure end-to-end mission success and craft deliverables for customer programs
- Plan and drive internal and external reviews to ensure alignment between Antares engineering teams and external stakeholders
- Perform market research on possible use cases and operational concepts for future Antares systems
- Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline or physics
- 5+ years of technical project management experience
- Experience working with government organizations such as Department of Defense (DOD) or Department of Energy (DOE), NASA, USAF /USSF, etc
- Knowledge of systems engineering and best practices for agile methodologies
- Experience working with the Department of Defense (DOD) or Department of Energy (DOE)
- Strong interpersonal and collaborative skills, enthusiasm for problem-solving, and desire to optimize modern nuclear design and operation.
- Master's degree in an engineering field
- PMP or other relevant professional project management certification
- Excellent written, visual, and verbal communication skills
- Excellent negotiation, conflict resolution, and leadership skills
- Leadership experience on a project or research team.
- Experience working in a start-up environment
- Demonstrated track record of crafting winning government proposals and winning DOD/DOE business
- Demonstrated track record of high impact / ROI contributions
- Ability to work long hours and weekends as necessary to support critical milestones
- Ability to travel to customer and mission-relevant locations as needed
- Ability to obtain a Top Secret or Top Secret SCI clearance is preferred
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"
- Craftsmen - We also focus on the inputs. We aspire to high-quality engineering for its own sake. As such, we invest in personal growth, learning, and developing a long-term career path for exceptional individual contributors. We embrace a beginner's mindset, share knowledge, and never condescend the curious
- Loyally Collaborative - Team > Self. We win together. There is nothing more precious than a high-performing team
