Certification Engineer

Radiant is seeking a Certification Engineer to develop, maintain, and govern engineering design standards, requirements, and verification methodologies for the mass production of nuclear reactors. This role bridges systems engineering, design, analysis, manufacturing, and operations. As a Certification Engineer, you will be responsible for ensuring that hardware and concepts of operation meet requirements and are designed in accordance with Radiant standards.

In short, you'll be the glue between our analysis, test, certification, and design teams, helping to connect the technical dots and solve problems across our reactor designs.

Responsibilities:

• Develop, own, and continuously improve design criteria, standards, and requirements for reactor core, structures, fluid systems, electronics, and shielding.
• Provide critical peer review and approval of hardware designs during design reviews; confirm acceptance and qualification test campaigns.
• Engage with Engineering to drive optimized designs while shepherding them through the design review process, verification testing, and part release.
• Guide engineers through the Radiant design process and ensure design criteria/requirements are being followed for reactor design, manufacturing, and test activities.
• Collaborate with responsible engineers throughout the entire design process, ensuring design criteria are properly considered in the development of hardware.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

• Undergraduate degree in engineering.
• 2+ years of full-time experience with engineering problem solving in design, analysis, or test of systems.
• Experience with complex hardware and processes related to manufacturing, integration, testing or operations.
• Applied understanding of requirement derivation, negotiation and verification or experience with the product design process especially as it relates to defining systems, interfaces and specifications.

Desired Skills and

Qualifications:

• Advanced degree in an engineering discipline.
• Experience with requirements management tools (e.g., DOORS, Jama, Flow).
• Strong understanding of the system design process including interface control and tradeoffs.
• Familiarity with structural, thermal, and fluid systems.
• 5+ years professional experience in an engineering role (design, analysis, test, or manufacturing).
