2027 New Graduate - Electrical Engineer

About the role

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 five 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.
