About the company

SeaPattern builds modular floating hydrokinetic turbines designed to increase output from existing hydropower plants, and to supply resilient off-grid power in specific use cases. The company positions the product as a plug-and-play add-on that lifts production without new dam infrastructure. Public hiring materials focus on bringing the technology to market, spanning mechanical design, structural engineering, and software for modelling and control. SeaPattern was founded in 2020.

Locations and presence

SeaPattern is headquartered in Linköping and also lists a Stockholm office. Most current roles are based in Linköping, with at least some hybrid work indicated on the jobs board.

Palpable Score

42.5

/ 100

SeaPattern looks like a strong engineering-led scale-up, but the visible hiring funnel is currently senior-heavy, which limits entry-level access. Hiring communications are clearer than many startups, yet missing pay data and missing outcome signals (reviews, conversion, promotions) cap the score.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

6.5

/ 20

The company’s current open roles are all mid to senior, with typical requirements like 5 years (Mechanical Design Engineer, Mechanical Structural Engineer) and 10+ years (Senior Software Engineer, Senior Mechanical Design Engineer).
SeaPattern shows at least one internship signal through the team page listing a Business Development Intern, but there are no internship openings live right now.
The company does not currently list any 0–3 year roles (Junior, Associate, Graduate, Technician) on the public job board.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

13.8

/ 20

The company uses a structured ATS with job filters (department, location, remote status) and an application form per role rather than email-only applications.
SeaPattern sets a response expectation on at least one posting (“We usually respond within three days”), which is a concrete transparency signal.
The company’s “recruitment process” sections are mostly limited to continuous review, location, and work-permit requirements, without stages or assessment details.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

8.5

/ 20

The company describes cross-functional collaboration in role scopes, for example software work that integrates AI models into embedded systems and a web platform, which can create learning through real product integration.
SeaPattern leans on values-based language about knowledge sharing and growth, but the job ads do not describe onboarding, mentoring cadence, or structured feedback for early-career people.
The company’s current hiring focus is senior, so there is limited public evidence of how SeaPattern coaches juniors day to day.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

7.5

/ 20

The company does not publish salary ranges or junior-friendly pay guidance in the current job ads, which makes it hard to judge pay fairness before applying.
SeaPattern appears on major job aggregators, but compensation information is not meaningfully available for SeaPattern on public salary databases.
The company does not provide a clear, consistent public benefits summary across roles, so pay stability signals are mainly inferred from standard full-time employment language.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

6.2

/ 20

The company has no meaningful employee review base on major employer-review platforms yet, removing a common source of retention and manager-quality signals.
SeaPattern has raised public financing and is hiring multiple roles at once, but there is no published data on intern-to-full-time conversion, promotions, or early-career retention.
The company’s LinkedIn footprint shows a small team size, which makes progression patterns hard to observe reliably from public profiles alone.
