Systems Engineer with nuclear engineering background
What we do at Blykalla
Blykalla is a Swedish deep-tech company developing small modular nuclear reactors. Thanks to lead-cooling, we achieve high safety in a very compact format, allowing for a simple and cost-effective design that can be mass-produced. Our unique reactor design will provide safe and green baseload energy that perfectly complements solar and wind power.
What you’ll get to do
As our Systems Engineer, you apply the skills of a nuclear engineer and a product developer. The systems you manage are a part of our core development program. You are responsible for making sure that systems and components within your area of responsibility are matured to a high technology readiness level through design, analysis, manufacturing, and testing. You also make sure that your systems are well-documented and qualified. Creating and communicating technical specifications and requirements for your systems is also a part of your overall responsibilities. For secure high-quality deliveries, you work closely with in-house and ex-house specialists. Your day-to-day work will include
- Planning the required work for developing a system and parts of a system until its full maturity.
- Leading matrix engineering teams to identify and execute necessary work.
- Ensuring that the development work is documented in text and drawings
- Defining and communicating applicable requirements to teams
- Keeping track that your systems fulfill appropriate requirements
- Reviewing documentation with respect to content and quality
- Assuring that the systems are developed as compliant with the overall product design criteria
Who you are
You excel working in a team that enjoys product development and has a can-do attitude. You are also independent and can give direction as well as receive it. This role requires close collaboration and the right mindset is crucial for you to contribute to a workplace that everybody enjoys coming to. There are however a few things that will help in order for you to succeed in this role:
- Master’s or Bachelor’s degree within nuclear engineering, nuclear chemistry or engineering physics. Work experience allowing you to succeed in one or more of these disciplines is considered as an alternative.
- Fluency in English, Swedish is a plus.
- Good understanding of the requirements and tools for developing nuclear reactor core and in-core systems.
- Several years’ experience from working with product development, as a systems engineer or as an engineering manager.
- Experience from having worked with instrumentation and control and with advanced reactors is desirable.
- Excellent communication skills, particularly in terms of creating high-quality documentation
- Proven ability to create a collaborative team environment.
- Ability to balance attention to detail and high capacity for delivery
Location
Although the work can be partly carried out remotely, this position is stationed at our Stockholm office. Work-related travel will occur with some frequency.
So, what do you think?
We are proud to foster an inclusive workplace free from discrimination. We strongly believe that diversity of experience, perspectives, and background will lead to a better environment for our employees and a better product. This is something we value deeply and we encourage everyone to be a part of changing the way the world thinks about power supply!

About Blykalla- Leadcold
Blykalla is a Swedish deep-tech company founded in 2013 by Janne Wallenius, Peter Szakalos and Jesper Ejenstam as a spin-off from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, where Janne Wallenius carried out research on design and safety analysis on lead-cooled reactor systems since 1996.
We develop and build lead-cooled small modular reactors (SMRs) to deliver safe, scalable and carbon-free baseload power supply. Thanks to lead-cooling, we achieve high safety in a very compact format, allowing for a simple and cost effective design that can be mass produced. Our unique reactor design will provide safe and green baseload energy that is a perfect complement to solar and wind power.
We are taking leading research to industrialisation and working together with global utilities and partners like Uniper and OKG to deliver the first research reactor in Oskarshamn, Sweden.
