Systems Engineer with nuclear engineering background
What we do at Blykalla
Blykalla is a Swedish deep-tech company at the forefront of the nuclear industry, pioneering the development of small modular reactors that provide clean, safe, and reliable energy. 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 ensuring that systems and components within your area of responsibility are matured to a high technical 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 securing 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 concerning content and quality
- Assuring that the systems are developed as compliant with the overall product design criteria
- Plan and document a safety analysis strategy and concept to support the design and licensing of Blykalla’s SMRs
- Perform and document safety analysis activities
- Establishing dose criteria and limits to support the design and licensing of Blykalla’s SMRs
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 you to succeed in this role:
- Master’s or Bachelor’s degree in nuclear engineering, nuclear chemistry, or engineering physics. Work experience allowing you to succeed in one or more of these disciplines is considered an alternative
- Good understanding of the requirements and tools for developing nuclear reactor core and in-core systems
- Several years of experience working with product development, as a systems engineer or as an engineering manager
- 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
- Experience working with Safety Analysis and Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) methods/software
- Fluency in English
- Fluent in Swedish is a plus
- Eligible to work in Sweden

About Blykalla
Blykalla AB was founded in 2013 by Janne Wallenius, Peter Szakalos, and Jesper Ejenstam as a spin-off from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, where Janne Wallenius has carried out research on design and safety analysis on lead-cooled reactor systems since 1996.
The research brought together insights from fast reactor design, transient analysis, corrosion and materials science, nuclear fuel development, lead coolant chemistry, radiation damage, severe accident analysis, nuclear construction, and operation of nuclear power plants to create a unique reactor design that provides safe and sustainable baseload energy.
Our lead-cooled fast reactors (LFRs) will be used for electricity, heating, and industrial applications such as production of hydrogen, HVO, syngas, and biochar. By targeting otherwise hard-to-abate sectors we contribute to decarbonization throughout the industrial value chain.
