What we do at Blykalla Blykalla is a Swedish deep-tech company developing next-generation small modular reactors (SMRs) to deliver clean, safe, and reliable energy. Our lead-cooled reactor design enables high safety in a compact format, making it scalable and cost-efficient — and a strong complement to renewable energy. We are now entering a phase where structured, high-quality engineering execution is critical to moving from design to reality — and this is where you come in. What you’ll get to do As Senior Project Engineering Manager (PEM), you lead the engineering execution of Blykalla’s SEALER reactor programme. You sit at the intersection of technical leadership, project delivery, and regulatory compliance — ensuring that multidisciplinary teams move in sync, milestones are met, and engineering output is robust and licensable. This is a senior, hands-on leadership role where you both define how we work and ensure it gets done. You translate complex technical requirements into clear execution plans, align teams across disciplines, and create the structure needed to deliver a first-of-a-kind nuclear system. You will also play a key role in shaping how we scale engineering at Blykalla, driving the adoption of design for fabrication and modularization, model-based engineering, PLM systems, and data-driven workflows. Responsibilities Engineering execution & technical leadership Define and drive a clear engineering execution plan with an aligned schedule, deliverables, cost, and responsibilities Lead coordination across disciplines (reactor, mechanical, electrical, I&C, structural, safety) to ensure system integration Ensure effective engineering workflows, design control processes, and validation approaches are implemented Ensure engineering output meets quality, safety, and regulatory requirements throughout the lifecycle Risk, safety & licensing Identify and manage technical and regulatory risks early, before they impact delivery Ensure traceability and documentation needed for licensing and safety case development Lead key engineering risk methodologies such as FMEA and probabilistic risk assessment Interface with regulatory bodies and certification authorities Cross-functional collaboration Act as the central engineering interface across project management, engineering teams, suppliers, and regulators Align stakeholders and maintain momentum through structured coordination Support procurement with nuclear-grade technical requirements and supplier evaluation Promote a strong safety culture and design-for-safety mindset Ensure early designs implement pre-fabrication and modularization principles, and get early contractor engagement as required. Delivery, planning & improvement Contribute to realistic planning of engineering scope, resources, cost,, and timelines Track progress and ensure predictable delivery against milestones Drive continuous improvement in how we execute and scale engineering Ensure smooth handover from engineering to manufacturing, construction, and operations Who you’ll work with You will be part of the Plant Engineering Team and work closely with discipline leads, the CTO, project managers, and external partners. You will be a key integrator across technical domains in a team that is highly driven and committed to building something meaningful. Who you are Domain expertise MSc or equivalent in Mechanical, Nuclear, Systems, Electrical Engineering, or similar Strong experience leading engineering delivery in complex, regulated environments (e.g. nuclear, aerospace, oil & gas, defence) Proven ability to coordinate multidisciplinary teams through complex programme phases Solid understanding of relevant regulatory frameworks and standards (SSM, IAEA, ASME, IEC, IEEE) Experience with risk methodologies such as FMEA and probabilistic risk assessment Familiarity with modern engineering environments (e.g. PLM, model-based engineering) How you work You bring structure and clarity to complex engineering challenges You balance technical rigour with practical delivery You anticipate risks and act early You are comfortable operating in ambiguity and building processes as you go Cultural contribution You lead with clarity and accountability, and bring people with you You build trust through transparency and reliability You are motivated by solving hard, first-of-a-kind problems You care about how teams work together and contribute to a strong, collaborative environment Fluent in English; Swedish is a plus Why join Blykalla Work on first-of-a-kind nuclear technology with real global impact Take on a high-ownership role at the core of our delivery Be part of a fast-growing, ambitious, and highly skilled team Help shape how next-generation nuclear engineering is done Location Stockholm Apply If you want to play a key role in bringing next-generation nuclear technology from concept to reality, we’d love to hear from you. We are proud to foster an inclusive workplace and believe that diversity of perspectives leads to better teams and better technology. We do not accept applications via email. We are not open to external recruitment agencies.

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
