About the role

If you want to do the most meaningful quality work of your career in an industry that hasn't been disrupted in decades, this is that opportunity.
Process and disposition supplier quality issues when they arise - deviation requests, non-conformance reports, supplier corrective action requests, root cause analysis, and verification of corrective action effectiveness.
3-6 years of hands-on experience in supplier quality, supplier development, or supplier reliability engineering in a regulated industry (nuclear, aerospace, defense, or medical device)

Own the supplier qualification and onboarding process end-to-end - pre-assessments, capability reviews, audit execution, and formal approval to the Approved Supplier List.
Develop supplier capability improvement plans - identify process gaps, partner with suppliers to close them, and track progress against defined milestones before problems reach Radiant's dock.
Radiant is an El Segundo, CA-based startup building the world's first mass-produced, portable nuclear microreactors.
Radiant's unique, practical approach to nuclear development leverages modern software engineering to rapidly deliver safe, factory-built microreactors that use existing, well-qualified materials.
the old house is being brought down, and a new foundation is being poured, but we still need to build the structure, apply the finishes, and pass final inspection.
You'll own what exists, upgrade aging systems, and create something the industry hasn't seen before.
We're not here to maintain the status quo in nuclear quality - we're here to raise the bar.
Radiant is building a supplier reliability program from the ground up with a singular goal: the right part, to the right standard, on time, every time.
Own, refine, and expand quality program documentation - including quality clauses, commodity-specific requirements, and the Supplier Quality Manual - building on existing foundations and authoring what doesn't yet exist.

Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Quality, Materials Science, or a related technical field
Desired Qualifications &
Experience in the nuclear industry or direct familiarity with NQA-1, 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, 10 CFR 21, ASME BPVC Section III and/or VIII
Qualified Inspector status (ASME Section III) or working toward it
Exposure to ISO 17025 accredited laboratories or third-party inspection bodies
Experience at an early-stage company or program where processes were built or advanced, not inherited
