What the job involves

Radiant is seeking a motivated Software Engineering Intern with a strong computer science foundation to join our team
As an intern, you will work alongside mechanical, electrical, and nuclear engineers to assist in developing software tools that support simulation and analysis for reactor design, development, and safety analysis
This is an excellent opportunity to gain hands-on software development experience in a highly interdisciplinary environment

Contribute to internal software products that support simulation and analysis of simulation results
You may be asked to work extended hours or weekends occasionally to support project goals

Our take

To support the clean energy revolution, Radiant Nuclear is developing a portable, containerized nuclear microreactor. Once launched, it will have the potential to provide power to remote parts of the world or act as a backup supply to vital infrastructure such as hospitals and data centers.

Typically, these backup systems are powered by diesel generators - making them extremely bad for the environment. Radiant's microreactors could allow the replacement of these generators whilst supplying the same critical asset support, enabling a substantial reduction in carbon footprint.

Having completed the design phase of the project, Radiant has taken a step closer towards realizing its microreactor (known as Kaleidos). The company intends to test a prototype as early as mid-2026 and has secured considerable funding to support its work towards that goal.
