Radiant builds Kaleidos, a portable, factory-built nuclear microreactor that delivers a megawatt of clean power anywhere it is needed. Backed by a16z, Felicis and USV.
About the role
Radiant is seeking a driven Senior Nuclear Engineer to join our team! You will own modeling methods and reactor physics calculations of neutronics parameters such as reactivity, kinetics parameters, and energy deposition distributions used within our cutting-edge custom-made Digital Twin simulation software. You’ll be responsible for assessing conservatism and verifying assumptions within the modeling methods and documenting all results.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor’s degree in nuclear engineering or a similar field from an accredited institution
- 4+ years of experience with Monte Carlo nuclear engineering software such as OpenMC, MCNP, Serpent, SCALE, etc
- Experience documenting analysis methods and assumptions
- Strong programming skills in any language, preferably Python
- Knowledge and experience in reactor kinetics
- Basic knowledge of thermal hydraulic principles
More about this role
Radiant is an El Segundo, CA-based startup building the world’s first mass-produced, portable nuclear microreactors. The company’s first reactor, Kaleidos, is a 1-megawatt, fail-safe microreactor that can be transported anywhere power is needed and run for up to 5 years without refueling. Portable nuclear power with rapid-deploy capability can replace similar-sized diesel generators and provide critical asset support for hospitals, data centers, remote sites, and military bases. Radiant’s unique, practical approach to nuclear development leverages modern software engineering to rapidly deliver safe, factory-built microreactors that use existing, well-qualified materials. Founded in 2020, Radiant is on track to test its first reactor at the Idaho National Laboratory this summer, with initial customer deliveries beginning in 2028.
