Lead Nuclear Engineer Radiant Industries

Radiant seeks a Senior Nuclear Thermal-Hydraulics Engineer to lead thermal-hydraulics and coupled physics analysis for the Kaleidos microreactor. Own analysis that determines how heat coolant and reactor core behavior interact under normal and accident conditions. This role applies reactor-specific thermal-hydraulics experience to a fast-moving factory-built reactor program. It differs from generic positions by focusing on real-world deployment and licensing support.

You will lead thermal-hydraulics and coupled physics analysis for the Kaleidos microreactor, owning the models that determine heat, coolant, and core interactions under normal and accident conditions. This role sits on the reactor engineering team at Radiant Industries, working alongside reactor physics, mechanical, and safety engineers to support licensing and design trade studies. With a first-of-its-kind reactor moving to test at the Idaho National Laboratory and customer deliveries beginning in 2028, your work directly shapes safety case development for the first mass-produced nuclear reactor. This is a hands-on technical role in a fast-moving startup environment, where your analysis will inform core design and cooling system decisions.

Radiant seeks a Senior Structural Engineer to design critical structures for the Kaleidos reactor. You will solve challenges creating efficient reliable structures that survive extreme temperatures and meet volumetric constraints. This role impacts fueling the first commercial reactor design since 1976 by 2026.

Radiant seeks a driven Senior Thermal Analyst to lead thermal CFD analysis for the Kaleidos microreactor. You will design and execute simulations to ensure high fidelity reliability and safety across reactor systems. This role drives milestones toward commercialization of the first mass-produced nuclear reactor.

Radiant seeks a Senior Structural Engineer to design critical structures for the Kaleidos reactor.
