About Radiant
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.
Radiant is seeking a Senior Thermofluids Systems Engineer, Power Conversion to own system-level thermodynamic modeling of our power conversion architecture. This architecture converts heat from nuclear fission into electricity for the customer. You will define operating points that balance system performance and constraints, deliver clear boundary conditions for the teams building fluid systems and turbomachinery, and serve as the primary technical bridge into control systems engineering & reactor modeling teams. This role is critical to delivering the first new commercial reactor design in over 50 years.
Responsibilities
- Own system-level thermodynamic performance modeling of the power conversion architecture, including design and off-design operating points across startup, shutdown, transients, and off-nominal conditions.
- Develop and maintain interface requirements and boundary conditions (pressures, temperatures, flow rates, control signals) for fluid system components, pressure equipment, turbomachinery, and power electronics.
- Work with engineers owning hardware and subsystems to develop architectural changes accommodating nominal and off-nominal operation, driving trades across performance, cost, weight, schedule, and safety.
- Serve as the primary interface to control systems engineering, providing plant-level dynamic behavior models, operating envelopes, and control-relevant boundary conditions for reactor control scheme development.
