Regulatory Systems Engineer

Radiant is seeking a highly skilled Regulatory Systems Engineer to support the regulatory compliance and safety analysis of our cutting-edge reactor demonstrations. You will play a crucial role in ensuring our engineering design and product integration efforts comply with nuclear regulatory requirements. This position will translate technical design information into comprehensive regulatory documentation, performing safety and risk analyses, and managing communications with regulators and stakeholders. This individual requires a deep understanding of nuclear engineering principles, strong analytical capabilities, and exceptional technical writing skills to support the safe and compliant development of Radiant's reactor systems across their lifecycle.

Responsibilities and Duties

• Translate engineering design and product integration efforts into accurate and comprehensive regulatory documentation that meets the standards of nuclear regulatory bodies, ensuring clarity and compliance.

• Develop and conduct critical analyses, including:

• Dose-Consequence Analysis to evaluate radiological impacts.

• Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) to quantify system risks.

• Hazards and Operability Studies (HazOp) to identify operational hazards.

• Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) to assess process-related risks.

• Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to evaluate potential system failures and their impacts.

• Manage and respond to Requests for Information (RFIs) from regulatory bodies and stakeholders, ensuring timely, accurate, and professional communication.

• Develop and implement strategies to manage technical and regulatory risks, ensuring alignment with project objectives and safety requirements.

• Ensure all documentation associated with Radiant reactor demonstrations is comprehensive, self-consistent, and maintained throughout the system lifecycle, adhering to regulatory and industry standards.

Required Qualifications & Skills

• Bachelor's or advanced degree in nuclear engineering or a closely related field (e.g., mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, or physics with a nuclear focus)
• 5+ years of relevant experience
• Demonstrated experience with multi-physics simulations and transient analysis of reactor systems, including familiarity with tools such as MCNP, RELAP5, or similar software.
• Experience in nuclear regulatory compliance, safety analysis, or risk assessment (e.g., PRA, HazOp, PHA, or FMEA).
• Proficiency in performing complex safety and risk analyses, with a focus on nuclear reactor systems.

Desired Qualifications and Skills

• Strong technical writing skills, with the ability to produce clear, concise, and regulatory-compliant documentation.
• Demonstrated experience interacting with regulators, stakeholders, and cross-functional teams.

Additional Requirements

• Must be willing to work extended hours and weekends as necessary to accomplish our mission.
• Must work 100% onsite at El Segundo HQ.
