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
We are looking for a Supply Reliability Engineer who builds supplier programs that prevent problems rather than react to them. You will own the development, qualification, and long-term reliability of Radiant's supply base — establishing the processes, standards, and supplier capabilities that ensure the right part arrives to the right standard, every time.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Quality, Materials Science, or a related technical field
- 3–6 years of hands-on experience in supplier quality, supplier development, or supplier reliability engineering in a regulated industry (nuclear, aerospace, defense, or medical device)
- Demonstrated ability to independently process supplier quality transactions : deviation requests, non-conformance reports, supplier corrective action requests, purchase order quality reviews, and cert package review — without step-by-step guidance
- Proven experience owning or drafting quality program documents : quality clauses, supplier requirements, inspection instructions, or equivalent
- Working knowledge of ISO 9001, AS9100, or equivalent quality management systems , including supplier audit methods and corrective action management
- Experience in the nuclear industry or direct familiarity with NQA-1, 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, 10 CFR 21, ASME BPVC Section III and/or VIII
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.
