Quality Operations Specialist

About Radiant Radiant is an El Segundo, CA-based startup building the world’s first mass-produced, portable nuclear microreactors. Rising energy demand is straining the U.S. grid and driving up utility costs, emissions, and interconnection backlogs. Radiant decentralizes energy, producing power close to where it’s used. Its first reactor, Kaleidos, is a factory-built, 1-megawatt, fail-safe microreactor that can be transported by land, sea, or air and runs up to 5 years without refueling.

Deployed locally without a decade-long build or permitting fight, Kaleidos provides independent power for critical infrastructure like military bases, data centers, hospitals, and remote sites. Founded in 2020, Radiant is under contract to deliver power to the U.S. Army, Air Force, Navy, and has pre-order agreements with Equinix, with deployments beginning in 2028.

The Role We are looking for a Quality Operations Specialist to help run, sustain, and continuously improve Radiant’s Quality program as we scale. You will work across the Quality organization to keep key processes moving, maintain the systems and information behind them, and help ensure our programs remain effective in day-to-day execution.

This is a hands-on execution role with broad exposure across the Quality program. You will support recurring Quality activities, maintain operating infrastructure, improve document and information practices, and help close the gaps that create friction or compliance risk. You will work closely with Reliability & Quality Engineers and other program owners to support implementation and sustainment of Quality processes across the business.

You will also help develop Radiant’s Quality Intelligence capability by improving data integrity, centralizing Quality information, building dashboards and reporting, and making program performance easier to understand and act on. Your scope will evolve with the needs of the Quality program, giving you the opportunity to develop deeper technical expertise and take on increasing ownership over time.

Support and sustain Quality program execution by coordinating recurring activities, records, actions, and operational controls needed to keep programs effective.

Maintain Quality operating infrastructure including templates, workflows, tools, systems, program documentation, and supporting information.

Standardize document and information management by maintaining templates, release and revision workflows, document structures, and controlled information practices.

Maintain Quality data integrity by monitoring and reconciling critical Quality attributes, classifications, and configuration data across business systems.

Build Quality Intelligence by centralizing data, developing dashboards and metrics, improving reporting, and surfacing trends or gaps requiring action.

Drive continuous improvement by identifying recurring friction, manual work, weak handoffs, and opportunities to improve established Quality processes.

Support implementation and sustainment of new or revised Quality processes in partnership with Quality Engineers and program owners.

Monitor Quality program health by maintaining visibility into execution, records, open actions, compliance status, and areas requiring follow-up.

Support evolving Quality priorities by stepping into operational, process, data, or compliance activities as program needs change.

Partner cross-functionally with Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and other teams to keep Quality processes practical, accurate, and scalable.
