Engineering Manager, Electronics (US)

We are looking for an Engineering Manager, Electronics to lead the team responsible for the custom electronic hardware at the core of Radiant’s commercial microreactor, Kaleidos. You will own the electronics architecture for the reactor control system while managing and developing a team of electrical engineers responsible for low-noise analog front ends, mixed-signal electronics, high-speed data conversion, communications, and custom PCB development.

This is a highly hands-on management role for a technical leader who wants to remain close to the hardware. You will work alongside Radiant’s Principal Electronics Engineer, guide the team through the complete hardware development lifecycle, and establish the technical and organizational foundation needed to deliver reliable reactor-control electronics. You will have meaningful authority over architecture, hiring, engineering standards, qualification strategy, and how the team grows.

What will you be doing?

• Building, managing, and developing the Electronics team, including hiring, mentoring, performance management, and resource planning

• Owning the electronic architecture for Kaleidos reactor controls, with a longer-term path toward potential space-reactor applications

• Leading analog and mixed-signal PCB development from requirements and schematic design through manufacturing, bring-up, qualification, and field operation

• Defining requirements for electrical noise, accuracy, input range, environmental performance, interfaces, reliability, and thermal constraints

• Guiding the design of low-noise analog front ends, sensor interfaces, high-speed data conversion, digital communications, and signal-processing hardware

• Owning acceptance and qualification testing for in-house PCB designs and ensuring hardware meets system requirements

• Driving failure analysis, root-cause investigations, corrective actions, and design improvements

• Partnering with controls, embedded software, electrical systems, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to integrate electronics across the reactor

• Leading design reviews and communicating technical decisions, tradeoffs, and risks to engineering leadership and executives
