Turbomachinery Design Engineer II – Precision Rotating Hardware

Antares; Los Angeles (CA); On-site; USD 115,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

Antares is seeking a Turbomachinery Design Engineer to own the mechanical design of turbomachinery components for nuclear reactors. You will develop hardware from initial layouts through CAD drawings, working with engineers, manufacturing, and suppliers to balance performance, reliability, and manufacturability.

The ideal candidate has strong CAD, GD&T, and first-principles skills, with a track record of solving complex mechanical challenges and clear technical communication.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or higher in Mechanical, Aerospace, or related engineering discipline.
• 3+ years of experience designing complex mechanical hardware and assemblies.
• Strong proficiency in 3D CAD and engineering drawing creation.
• Strong working knowledge of GD&T and ASME Y14.5.
• Ability to perform first-principles engineering calculations to support mechanical design decisions.
• Experience working with manufacturing engineers, machinists, suppliers, or inspectors to resolve hardware issues.
• Demonstrated ability to communicate technical information clearly.

Responsibilities

• Own the mechanical design and detailed definition of turbomachinery components and assemblies.
• Develop 3D CAD models, assemblies, and production drawings for rotating and stationary turbomachinery hardware.
• Support architecture and packaging trades through rapid iteration of 2D and 3D layouts.
• Evaluate materials, manufacturing processes, interfaces, assembly methods, and design concepts during early development.
• Work with aerodynamic, structural, rotordynamics, thermal, manufacturing, and test engineers to develop integrated designs.
• Work directly with suppliers and internal manufacturing teams to resolve producibility, inspection, assembly, and nonconformance issues.
• Improve existing designs to reduce cost, lead time, part count, and manufacturing complexity.
• Incorporate lessons from manufacturing, assembly, and test into design updates.
• Support the design of test hardware, tooling, fixtures, and development rigs.
• Contribute to turbomachinery design practices and standards for CAD, drawings, producibility, and reliability.
