About SeaPattern

Enabling a world where the full potential of hydropower is unlocked!

At SeaPattern, we’re enabling the transition to renewable energy by unlocking the full potential of hydropower. Our modular, floating hydrokinetic turbines are placed in an optimized microgrid, increasing the energy output of existing hydropower plants without new infrastructure or environmental harm. The system is scalable, affordable, and non-invasive. Our technology also delivers sustainable power in remote areas and mission-critical energy solutions for disaster relief and defense.

Founded by scientists, engineers, and innovators, we’re now entering an exciting new phase bringing our breakthrough technology to market. We are looking to expand our team with brilliant minds who want to develop our technology and join our mission, and are now looking for an Automation Engineer.

What you'll do:

You will work at the intersection of control systems, industrial automation, and electrical systems, ensuring our technology operates efficiently, autonomously, and reliably in real environments. This is a hands-on role across the full development cycle: from concept and prototyping to commissioning and deployment.

Your main responsibilities will be to:

• Commission and integrate sensors, actuators, inverters, and DAQ systems into cohesive, operational setups

• Configure and deploy industrial control hardware (PLCs, IPCs, HMIs, DAQ systems)

• 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

Who you are:

You enjoy building real systems where hardware, software, and field reality meet and you take pride in seeing a commissioned system run reliably in the field.

We are looking for the following qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems, or a related field.

• Experience designing custom PCBs.

• Proficiency in C/C++ for embedded programming.

• Experience with ARM-based MCUs.

• Familiarity with integrating embedded systems with cloud or web-based platforms.

• Understanding of mechanical and mechatronic systems is considered a merit.

• Experience troubleshooting electronics.

Bonus

• Knowledge of control theory (e.g. PID, system dynamics)

• Experience with SCADA systems or remote monitoring platforms

• Familiarity with low- to medium-voltage electrical systems

• Experience in harsh or remote environments

Why Join SeaPattern?

Real Impact
Your work directly increases renewable energy production in operating hydropower plants. Not in theory in real facilities, with measurable results.

Build What Matters
You will work hands-on with deeptech systems combining hardware and advanced analytics, together with a tight team of engineers, scientists, and builders.

Grow Fast Through Ownership
You won’t be a small part of a large system. You will own real problems end-to-end from idea and design to testing and implementation and grow through doing.

How We Work

At SeaPattern, how we work matters just as much as what we build.

Focus creates momentum
We prioritize what matters most and move fast from idea to implementation.

Feedback makes us better
We challenge ideas, give direct feedback, and improve together.

Accountability builds trust
We take ownership, deliver on commitments, and communicate early.

Recruitment process

We’re reviewing applications continuously, so don’t wait to apply. This is a full-time position based at SeaPattern’s office in Linköping, Sweden. A valid EU and Swedish work permit is required.
