Radiant Industries is an El Segundo, CA-based startup developing Kaleidos, a portable, containerized nuclear microreactor. Portable nuclear power with rapid deploy capability can replace diesel generators used today to provide critical asset support for hospitals, datacenters, and military bases or to power microgrids at remote sites. Radiant’s unique, practical approach to nuclear development utilizes modern software engineering to rapidly achieve safe, factory-constructable microreactors leveraging existing, well-qualified materials. Radiant is on a fast track to demonstrate the first fueled operation of a new commercial nuclear reactor design, just two years from now.
Reliability Engineer
Radiant is seeking a driven, organized Reliability Engineer to manage the integration of hardware systems with customer requirements and regulation. This role is critical to bringing the world’s first portable nuclear microreactor to commercialization in a timely manner. You will work directly with all engineering disciplines to influence the full hardware lifecycle by providing critical feedback in design reviews, build reviews, and test campaigns. This is an exciting opportunity for reliability engineers who enjoy both technical work and operational execution. You will have a direct impact on bringing the safest microreactor to market the fastest.

- Perform independent assessments of subsystem and system designs to develop understanding of vulnerabilities and associated risk.
- Drive architectural decision making across engineering functions to improve reliability of both the design and build of hardware.
- Develop processes and tools to assess manufacturing issues, manage technical risk, and evaluate changes to reactor configuration.
- Oversee execution by technical teams including design reviews and regulatory and quality documentation; organize data inputs into technical papers and deliverable reports.
Required Skills and Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in engineering discipline.
- 2+ years of full-time experience with engineering problem solving in design, analysis, or test of systems.
- Experience with complex hardware and processes related to manufacturing, integration, testing or operations.
- Applied understanding of requirement derivation, negotiation and verification or experience with the product design process especially as it relates to defining systems, interfaces and specifications.
Desired Skills and Qualifications:
- Experience with Mission Assurance, Quality Assurance, Reliability Analysis, or Systems Engineering.
- Full product life cycle experience with hardware that has seen production.
- Ability to apply fundamental engineering principles.
- Interpersonal skills to interact with both internal and external groups to overcome associated constraints.
- Analytical and problem-solving skills with proven ability to rapidly resolve interdisciplinary issues.

What We Do
Radiant is a clean energy startup building a nuclear microreactor. A climate-friendly alternative to diesel generators, Radiant's Kaleidos 1MW microreactor will be the world's first portable, zero-emissions power source that works anywhere. We plan to test our development reactor by 2026 and if successful, it will be the first new commercial reactor design to achieve a fueled test in over 50 years. Our microreactor can bring power to remote parts of the world and provide backup power for life-saving applications in hospitals or disaster-relief scenarios.
Why Work With Us
Our world-class team has prior experience in complex hardware development from SpaceX, McMaster, The Boring Company, and renowned national laboratories that define our mentality to radically improve our microreactors. We care deeply about our mission to reduce carbon emissions, and have fun while doing so from trivia nights to ski retreats.
