Lediga jobb Blykalla AB i Oskarshamn

Are you a hands-on engineer ready to ensure that advanced test rigs are commissioned, tested, and operated safely and reliably? As Blykalla expands our operations, we are looking for a Commissioning Engineer to join our team in Oskarshamn and play a key role in bringing our technology from installation to operation.
What we do at Blykalla
Blykalla is developing the next generation of nuclear technology with our Small Modular Reactor (SMR) based on innovative fuel, materials, and reactor designs. As Sweden’s only SMR developer, we are on a mission to decarbonize industries and enable safe, scalable, and sustainable energy solutions. Our technology uses uranium nitride fuel and lead coolant, creating novel challenges and opportunities for the fuel cycle and supporting systems.




What You’ll Get to Do
As a Commissioning Engineer, you will take responsibility for commissioning rigs and test systems, ensuring safe and reliable operation throughout installation, cold commissioning, and hot commissioning phases. You will support both mechanical and electrical aspects, working closely with engineers, contractors, and operators to ensure smooth execution.
Your responsibilities will include:
Planning, executing, and supervising commissioning activities.
Verifying mechanical installations (e.g.: gaskets, sealings, flanges) and electrical systems (e.g.: heat tracing, testing, and troubleshooting).
Operating test rigs and performing on-site troubleshooting in installation, commissioning and start up phase, as well as during test campaigns.
Preparing and maintaining commissioning documentation, including test reports and checklists.
Participating in and initiating risk assessments, including performing dynamic risk assessments as needed.
Ensuring safety and quality standards are upheld at all times.



Where This Role Can Take You
At Blykalla, engineers working close to our technology gain visibility and ownership across projects. In this role, you will not only ensure rigs are running but also contribute to the development and validation of systems central to the SEALER program. Over time, you may expand into broader test operations and system integration.


Who You Are
You are a practical and solution-oriented engineer who thrives on solving problems at the interface of mechanical and electrical systems. You enjoy working hands-on, but also bring the discipline needed to ensure rigorous safety and quality standards.
We believe you have:
A degree or vocational training in mechanical, electrical, or related engineering disciplines.
Hands-on experience in commissioning, installation, or electrical/mechanical testing.
Strong understanding of mechanical systems (gaskets, sealings, flanges) and electrical systems (heat cables, fault detection).
Ability to read and interpret P&IDs;, wiring diagrams, and technical drawings.
Experience in troubleshooting, fault management, and root cause analysis.
Fluency in Swedish and English.
Driving licence mandatory.
Qualifications: crane manipulation, forklift operation, and working on heights training.
Experience in nuclear, energy, or heavy industrial projects is a plus.



Location
The position is based in Oskarshamn, with travel to Stockholm and partner facilities expected.

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 is a perfect complement to solar and wind power.


What you’ll get to do
As a Chief Engineer, you have one of the key positions of the Engineering team. Within the engineering team, you guide a group of engineers that develops components and systems for the nuclear island, from their conceptual design to industrial manufacturing. Because you are our subject matter expert for all aspects of mechanical design and engineering, you also support other streams of product development with your expertise.


More specifically, your work includes:
Maturing our product. You get your hands dirty with the team and take the product to a high technology readiness level by designing, prototyping, and testing ideas and solutions.
Solving technical issues. You identify and analyze potential issues with our products and apply corrective actions to such issues.
Meeting requirements. You ensure that components and systems meet all criteria for e.g. usability, cost, reliability, manufacturability, maintenance, and safety.
Communicating with conviction. You document and communicate the work and results of the team in technical reports and communicate these to stakeholders with and without a technical background.
Providing expertise and support. You apply your experience and skill sets to other engineering teams needing them for their product development processes.
Growing team competence. You train and mentor junior engineers and designers in your own team and outside the team.



Who you are
For some years now, you have worked with developing industrial machines or components of larger machines, operating in complex environments and having low error tolerance and high requirements regarding reliability. Your technical judgment on the operability and reliability of machinery is based on practical experience in addition to a sound academic education on the matter. You are sufficiently skilled in all matters of mechanical engineering to define and delegate work, and to guide those junior to you to conduct such work efficiently. We think you have experience from the process industry (i.e. energy, oil, pulp & paper, nuclear, etc.) where you have dealt with e.g. piping & vessel design, Heath Exchanger design, other component design.
As a person, you are result-oriented and treat obstacles as temporary set-back on your way to finding solutions. You are a good communicator and thrive when explaining and sharing knowledge of the design with others – both in terms of products, systems, and people.
Requirements:
Bachelor's or Master's in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
Proven experience within an engineering team, preferably in a product development environment.
In-depth knowledge and expertise in mechanical design and engineering.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Experience in designing, prototyping, and testing mechanical and structural components and systems.
Familiarity with nuclear industry regulations and standards is a plus.
Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to convey technical information to non-technical stakeholders.
Demonstrated ability to lead and motivate others to achieve project goals.
Strong organizational and time management skills to effectively prioritize and manage multiple tasks.
Continuous learning mindset and a passion for staying updated with emerging technologies and trends in mechanical engineering.
Fluent in English, spoken and written
Fluency in Swedish is a plus


The role includes interactions with many internal and external stakeholders.


Location
This position is for our office in Stockholm.
