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:

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.

- High school diploma or GED
- 3+ years of direct manufacturing inspection experience in a production, fabrication, or assembly environment
- Proficiency with basic inspection tools and techniques (micrometers, calipers, height gauges, etc.)
- Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, and GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing)
- Ability to work long hours and weekends as necessary to support critical milestones
- We are located in Torrance, CA in a 322,000 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.
- 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”
- Go Where the Work Is - Never miss a chance to meet a customer, user, or stakeholder face to face, even if that means hopping on a plane. If you can’t make it, find a teammate who can channel your intentions and go in your place. Deep work can be done from anywhere, but we believe teams are built in person, and aim to maximize our time together
- Operate in the Grey - Embrace nuance in pursuit of truth. Question every fundamental assumption
Nice to Have
- Experience with visual weld inspection (AWS or equivalent preferred)
- Familiarity with ISO 9001, AS9100, NQA-1 or other quality management systems
- Experience with CMM or advanced metrology tools
- Knowledge of non-destructive testing (NDT) methods is a plus
- Experience with electronic Manufacturing Enterprise Software (MES)
- Experience with leak checks, vacuum checks, and other test validation activities
- Strong written and verbal communication skills for documenting inspections and collaborating with cross-functional teams
- Ability to contribute to continuous improvement initiatives and support the development of scalable processes
