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 failsafe microreactor that can be transported anywhere power is needed and run for up to five years without the need to refuel. 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 utilizes modern software engineering to rapidly achieve safe, factory-built microreactors that leverage existing, well-qualified materials. Founded in 2020, Radiant is on track to test its first reactor next year at the Idaho National Laboratory, with initial customer deliveries beginning in 2028.
We're looking for a Content Producer to own Radiant's visual content—from documenting daily engineering progress to producing polished videos for milestone announcements. You'll be embedded with our hardware teams, capturing the work as it happens, and translating it into content that works across social media, events, investor updates, and traditional media.
This is a hands-on production role. You'll shoot, edit, and produce content while also coordinating with external vendors for larger projects. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable grabbing B-roll on the factory floor and editing a sizzle reel for an investor presentation.
What You'll Do- Produce photo and video content documenting Radiant's engineering progress, facility operations, and major milestones
- Create social media content optimized for each platform—vertical video, polished clips, behind-the-scenes footage
- Build and maintain visual asset library of photos, videos, and b-roll that can be quickly deployed for press, events, and social
- Capture event content at conferences, summits, and Radiant-hosted events (travel required)
- Manage external photo/video vendors for larger productions, coordinating logistics and ensuring quality
- Edit video content from raw footage to final deliverables, including motion graphics and basic animation
- Monitor media landscape for Radiant and competitor coverage, flagging relevant stories for response
- Manage editorial calendar execution, ensuring content is delivered on schedule
- 4+ years of experience in content production, videography, or multimedia journalism
- Strong portfolio demonstrating video production and editing skills
- Proficiency with professional camera equipment (DSLR/mirrorless, audio, lighting)
- Expertise in video editing software (Premiere Pro, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve)
- Understanding of social media platforms and content optimization for each
- Ability to work independently and make creative decisions on the fly
- Comfort working in industrial/manufacturing environments
- Willingness to travel for events and Tennessee factory documentation (~20-30%)
- Experience in aerospace, energy, defense, or other "hard tech" environments
- Motion graphics or animation skills (After Effects)
- Drone operation certification
- Photography skills (product, executive portraits, facility documentation)
- Experience working with engineering or R&D teams
- Regular social media video content
- Milestone documentation videos
- Updated visual asset library accessible to team
- Event content packages within 24-48 hours of event completion
This is an exempt salaried role.
