Automation Engineer to SeaPattern

We’re on a journey—and it has only just begun SeaPattern’s growth took off in the spring of 2025. One year later, we are a team of just over 20 people from diverse backgrounds and nationalities, but with one thing in common: we are building technology that truly makes a difference. We work close to reality, close to the systems and close to each other. What we develop is tested in real-world environments and directly contributes to increasing production in existing hydropower—without new infrastructure or environmental impact. What is it like to work at SeaPattern? Our employees have full ownership of their respective areas. By combining ownership with close collaboration within teams, we have created a highly supportive environment for both personal and professional growth—something that is a major strength for a company breaking new ground. The energy this way of working unlocks in each individual has enabled us, in a short time, to advance our product development to the point where we are now approaching large-scale industrial production. Where are we heading? Interest in our technology is growing, both in Sweden and internationally. However, the real potential is global—and that’s where we’re headed. We are continuing to build our team in Linköping and are looking for more people who want to join us on the next stage of our journey.

Develop and implement control strategies for energy optimization in power systems

Design and build automation architectures using industrial protocols (Ethernet based Fieldbus)

Develop and tune control strategies for hydrokinetic turbines and power electronics

Design systems for data acquisition, remote monitoring, and diagnostics

Ensure robust system performance across signal integrity, communication reliability, and EMC

Collaborate closely across mechanical, electrical, and software engineering
