Join Blykalla as we drive the future of clean energy in Sweden. We’re seeking a Lead Electrical Engineer with a focus on Power Systems to play a pivotal role in the development of our Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). This role offers the unique opportunity to oversee the electrical aspects of our reactor projects in collaboration with our external engineering partners.
What we do at Blykalla
At Blykalla, we’re transforming the future of nuclear power by developing innovative Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). Our mission is to create a new generation of nuclear energy systems that are safer, more efficient, and environmentally friendly. As Sweden’s only developer of SMRs, we’re at the forefront of a groundbreaking industry.
About the role
Blykalla is collaborating closely with ABB to develop cutting-edge electrical systems for SMRs, bringing nuclear technology into the future by leveraging advanced technical solutions to create safe, reliable systems.
In this role, you will lead the joint development program, working directly with our external partner. You will be responsible for overseeing project planning, conducting technical assessments, and managing system integration to ensure smooth coordination and high-quality outcomes in the design, development, and implementation of electrical systems.
What you’ll get to do
Act as the primary point of contact for electrical systems, collaborating with our external partner to ensure alignment with project goals and technical standards.
Oversee the design and integration of high and low-voltage systems, ensuring they meet rigorous safety and efficiency criteria.
Coordinate technical reviews, quality assurance, and risk assessments related to electrical components.
Manage timelines, budgets, and resources for electrical projects without direct managerial oversight.
Support regulatory processes, ensuring compliance with industry standards for power systems.
Foster a collaborative environment, working closely with other disciplines to achieve cohesive, reliable solutions.
Who you are
- An experienced Electrical Engineer specializing in power systems, preferably with a background in nuclear, renewable energy, or another high-reliability sector.

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.
