Radiant is seeking an impactful Lead, Fluid Systems Engineering to build and lead the team that owns critical Kaleidos fluid systems from preliminary design through build and production. These systems include the primary loop subsystems and the power conversion loop, which convert heat from the reactor core into electrical power. As a player-coach, you will set technical direction at a staff level, stay hands-on in the hardest design and analysis problems, and hire, develop, and lead a team of fluid systems engineers. You will have an instrumental impact on fueling the first new commercial reactor design in over 50 years.

Lead, mentor, and grow a team of fluid systems engineers; set clear goals, give regular feedback, and support career development.

Recruit and hire top engineering talent, and build a team culture of ownership, rigor, and constructive communication.

Own team planning, prioritization, and resourcing, including subassembly design, manufacturing, and test schedules.

Partner with leadership and other functional areas to collect requirements, align priorities, and resolve cross-team tradeoffs.

Technical Ownership

Own the architecture and end-to-end engineering of fluid systems and components, including compressors, valves, and heat exchangers, and set the technical bar for the team.

Personally tackle the most complex thermal and fluids analysis, using first-principles hand calculations and finite element tools to drive design decisions, verify performance, and ensure structural integrity.

Lead trade studies to optimize the system and meet program requirements.

Establish and review manufacturing/assembly instructions, test plans, and BOM management.

Drive supplier identification, selection, and development for all components.

Own subsystem risk analysis (FMEA) and ensure design reviews are rigorous.
