Radiant is building the world's first mass-produced, portable nuclear microreactors, aiming to provide a clean and reliable power source that can replace diesel generators for critical infrastructure like hospitals, data centers, and military bases.
Requirements
- Proficient in at least one of the following programming languages: Python, C++, C, or another scientific computing language.
- Proficient or advanced in one of following: OpenMC, MCNP, SCALE, MOOSE, Serpent, BISON, RELAP, CFD, Pronghorn, GRIFFIN, or other nuclear software packages
- At least 1 year of software development experience:
- C, C++, or Python development experience is preferred.
Responsibilities
- Ownership of nuclear design and analysis focus areas, for example: Shielding: Assessing transport, operation, self-activation, environmental activation, and waste categorization, working with both customer and regulatory requirements.
- Analysis: Run coupled core physics and thermal calculations to refine the thermal model in various scenarios.
- Mechanical: Assess damage effects and bulk material properties changes due to high flux on ceramics and metals inside the core.
- Fuel and waste: Model burnup distribution, design burnable absorber, and perform criticality assessments for transport and waste facility compatibility.
- Reactor Physics: Develop control schemes and design control systems using transient simulations to finalize source sizing and detector selection.
- Apply expertise and knowledge of nuclear industry standards and regulations.
- Develop technical requirements for hardware systems, structures, and components, leading design reviews.
Other
- Bachelor’s degree in nuclear engineering or equivalent degree from accredited institution.
- 5+ years nuclear engineering industry experience.
- Experience implementing nuclear regulatory requirements.
- Master’s or PhD in nuclear engineering or equivalent degree from accredited institution.
- Subject matter expert in one of following areas: criticality safety, fuel management, and/or radioactive material transportation.
