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.

Design and operate modular AC/DC benches with protection, interlocks, and measurement capability; safely support high‑voltage bring‑up per NFPA 70E practices.
Plan, construct, and operate EDUs, demonstration rigs, and prototype test articles, including bring‑up procedures and integrated instrumentation for data capture.
Program and configure industrial controls hardware such as VFDs, motor starters, PLCs, and electronic circuit breakers.
Review and redline drawings and technical documentation, and provide design feedback to the engineering team.
Use EPLAN to generate reports, bills of material, wire lists, and manufacturing data; manage schematic documentation.
Define and enforce panel/rack and harnessing standards (wire color codes, labeling, test points) to drive repeatability and serviceability.
Create, maintain, and update assigned tasks for documenting and reporting work in progress and completed activities.
Collaborate with mechanical, firmware, and systems engineers to define interfaces, requirements, and integration plans for multidisciplinary test articles.

Additional Requirements:
Ability to work long hours and weekends as necessary to support critical milestones
Location
We are located in Torrance, CA in a 145,000 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”
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
Equal Opportunity
Antares is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Employment decisions are based solely on merit, competence, and qualifications, without regard to race, color, religion, gender, national origin/ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, mental or physical disability, or any other legally protected status.
ITAR Requirements
To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.

Swift Solar 3.9
San Carlos, CA jobs
About the company
At Swift Solar, our mission is to unlock the full potential of solar energy. We believe that solar energy has vast untapped potential to power our lives, fuel economies, and strengthen supply chains, while protecting planetary health in the face of global climate change. The reality is that today's solar technology is good, but not good enough.
Swift Solar is making solar better with its breakthrough tandem technology that harnesses the power of perovskite materials to create solar solutions that are not only more efficient than traditional technology but also more versatile, enabling applications ranging from space solar to utility-scale power generation.
Swift Solar is a mission-focused startup supported by the US government and backed by world-class investors. It's a long journey to bring a new clean energy technology to market, and we're in it for the long haul, together. Join our extraordinary team building the cutting-edge solar technology that will shape the future of the global solar industry.
A day in the life
Swift Solar's R&D team is at the forefront of development of efficient, stable, and manufacturing-ready perovskite tandem solar cells. As an R&D Engineer/Scientist at Swift Solar, you will drive the development of processes, metrology, and materials for key thin film layers in the solar cell stack. The work will emphasize identifying shortcomings within the existing device stack and its constituent layers, followed by the independent development of strategies to overcome these limitations. You will perform systematic experiments to develop and optimize scalable deposition materials and processes in collaboration with other engineers/scientists and technicians at Swift Solar. You will develop and use advanced metrology techniques to quantify the resulting materials properties. Success in this role will require ownership of continued maintenance, upkeep, and training of critical deposition and characterization processes. This work will feed into developing advanced solar cell stacks for efficiency, long-term stability, and scalability to gigawatt-level manufacturing, and will involve developing unit process specifications for thin film materials and processes to reach high reproducibility. Your input will be crucial to its translation to high-volume manufacturing. You might also work with chemical suppliers to source and qualify materials for manufacturing, and design new materials to achieve higher performance, stability, or scalability.
As an early hire, you'll help craft Swift Solar's culture. In this role you'll be interacting with every part of the company, which will naturally lead to many opportunities to grow your own skills and responsibilities. We encourage you to take full advantage of these opportunities.
You might be a good fit if you...
Have a Ph.D. in chemistry, materials research, physics or related fields, or Masters degree plus at least two years of directly relevant R&D experience
Have 2+ years of experience in thin-film deposition and characterization (e.g., XRD, XRF, PL, JV, and advanced methods)
Are comfortable with ambiguity, and excited to independently drive open-ended R&D projects that might go beyond your immediate area of expertise
Are proactive, hard-working, and motivated to make an impact on climate change
Have expert knowledge of metal halide perovskite materials and their characterization
A very strong candidate might bring one or more of the following...
2+ years of experience in vapor deposition of functional materials via different methods
2+ years of experience in a thin film production environment
Fundamental understanding of the working principle of solar cells with a strong focus on device chemistry
The logistics
Compensation: Competitive package including salary, equity, and benefits
Expected Pay Range: $110k- $160k per year
The actual offer, reflecting total compensation and benefits, will be determined by factors such as relevant experience, skills, and other qualifications
Ideal start date: November 2025 - January 2026
Job type: Full-time
Location: San Carlos, CA (Swift Solar HQ)
What you'll love about Swift Solar
