Do you enjoy combining technology, customer dialogue and business development? Are you curious about how products are made and which manufacturing problems customers need to solve? Do you like reaching out to new people, asking the right questions and finding new opportunities?
DP Patterning is looking for a Sales Engineer to find and qualify new business opportunities for our flexible electronics.
About DP Patterning
DP Patterning makes flexible electronics with Dry Phase Patterning, our patented dry and mechanical roll-to-roll process. Instead of chemical etching or printed silver inks, we form conductive patterns mechanically in aluminium-based laminates. Our customers get circuits that cost less to produce and have a much smaller climate footprint, and the waste is collected as recyclable metal.
The company was founded in Norrköping in 2013, building on research from Linköping University and RISE. In 2026 we moved into a new production facility in Norrköping with capacity for more than ten million square metres of flexible electronics per year, which makes us Europe’s largest manufacturer of flexible electronics.
We are a close-knit company where every person makes a difference. Our values guide how we work:
Pioneer – Integrity – Commitment
We dare to think differently, take responsibility for our colleagues and customers, and keep moving forward when things get difficult.
