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

You will lead the Electrical, Controls and Instrumentation team within Plant Engineering — owning both engineering delivery and the people who do the work. You set the technical direction across electrical power, instrumentation, and process control and safety systems, and you build and develop a high-performing team. You turn requirements into practical engineering solutions, coordinate interfaces across disciplines and with suppliers, and help shape a plant-as-a-product mindset through standardization, modular design, and DfMA.

• Lead and grow the E I&C team, including hiring, coaching, performance management, and career development
• Set technical direction across power distribution, motor control, instrumentation, PLC/DCS architecture, SCADA/HMI, functional safety, and industrial cyber security
• Define and maintain design criteria, specifications, datasheets, instrument indexes, control system architecture, and modularization principles
• Direct and review power studies, loop and sizing calculations, SIL determination, hazardous area classification, and cyber security assessments
• Coordinate interfaces with process, mechanical, piping, civil, layout, and operations disciplines
• Set supplier strategy and review vendor documents, FATs, and software functional designs
• Give reliable input to estimates, schedules, and risk reviews, and escalate risks early
• Improve methods, templates, and design practices to make the discipline faster and better with every project
