Lead Systems Engineer in Edinburgh

Company Overview Blue Energy’s mission is to unlock energy abundance, energy affordability, energy security, and turn-key decarbonization by developing the fastest path to deploying new nuclear MWs at scale. We are utilizing shipyard manufacturing supply chains and techniques from offshore oil and wind to reduce the cost of nuclear plants by over 60% and the manufacturing timeline to 24 months. Blue Energy is a platform technology that makes use of the latest NRC-approved reactors and is in negotiations with existing nuclear and industrial sites, enabling a much faster regulatory pathway to deploy our first unit. With our innovative centralized shipyard manufacturing approach, we can put nuclear power on a cost-reduction learning curve akin to wind, solar, and lithium-ion batteries. Role Summary Reporting to the Chief Engineer, the Lead Systems Engineer will be the technical authority for systems engineering within Blue Energy’s engineering department, driving the architecture and integration of complex, multi-domain systems for the world’s first gas-to-nuclear conversion projects. This role is pivotal in shaping how advanced nuclear plants are conceived, designed, and delivered—balancing innovation with regulatory compliance and operational excellence. The Lead Systems Engineer will ensure that stakeholder expectations are translated into actionable requirements and that system-level decisions align with Blue Energy’s mission to deliver cost-effective, schedule-certain, and safe nuclear power solutions. The Lead Systems Engineer will help ensure that Blue Energy has a highly-adept Systems Engineering framework, processes, procedures, and practices which are used effectively to develop quality designs.
