The Warehouse Manager will oversee shipping, receiving, and inventory processes for nuclear reactor assembly while ensuring safety and operational efficiency.
Radiant is an El-Segundo, CA-based clean energy startup building a nuclear microreactor. A climate-friendly alternative to diesel generators, Radiant's Kaleidos 1MW microreactor will be the world's first portable, zero-emissions power source that works anywhere. We plan to test our development reactor by 2026 and if successful, it will be the first new commercial reactor design to achieve a fueled test in over 50 years. Radiant's goal is to bring one of the world's first factory-constructed microreactors to market. Our microreactor can bring power to remote parts of the world and provide backup power for life-saving applications in hospitals or disaster-relief scenarios.
Warehouse Manager:
Radiant is seeking an independent and detail-oriented Warehouse Manager to help us build our first nuclear reactor. The first 6 months of this role will be focused on execution: you will own the shipping, receiving, and inventory processes for the assembly of the Kaleidos Development Unit. You will work closely with the engineering and operations teams to ensure that we are receiving material effectively, storing it efficiently, and setting our engineers and technicians up for success during assembly operations.
Once the prototype is complete, the Warehouse Manager's focus will broaden: you will contribute to operational projects in support of our test and production milestones, help define our plan for early commercial reactor production, and execute the associated construction and infrastructure projects. The ideal candidate is a flexible operator with experience creating and executing on shipping, receiving, and inventory processes within highly regulated industries. This role will have the opportunity to shape material storage and handling processes both for our current HQ and our future factory.
