Description
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.
Formed in 2023, the Antares team hails from SpaceX, The White House, MIT, Rigetti Computing, The Air Force, General Atomics, Relativity Space, Ursa Major, and National Laboratories like Los Alamos, Idaho, and Oak Ridge. Antares has raised over $130M in venture capital from top-tier investors and has over $13M in government funding.
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.
• Own day-to-day administration, configuration, and improvement of supply chain and manufacturing enterprise systems, including MES, purchasing/procurement systems, ERP/MRP modules, supplier portals, inventory/material systems, and related operational tools.
• Create integrations between enterprise systems and collaboration tools such as email, Slack/Teams, ticketing systems, document repositories, supplier portals, spreadsheets, and internal applications.
• Maintain master data and system hygiene for suppliers, parts, BOMs, routings, purchase orders, work orders, inspection status, ownership, lead times, milestones, and operational metadata.
• Support implementation and rollout of new tools or modules, including requirements gathering, vendor coordination, configuration, testing, migration, user acceptance testing, training, and post-launch support.
• Partner with supply chain and manufacturing teams to build workflows for PO release, supplier onboarding, supplier execution reviews, material readiness, r
