At Epishine, we foster a culture of collaboration, creativity and innovation where we encourage our employees to challenge the status quo and drive innovation. Our company is now growing and we are looking for more driven talents who want to grow and develop together with us! Go to www.epishine.com to read more about Epishine and our vision.
The mission
As an R&D Engineer at Epishine, you will be spending most of your time in our laboratory fabricating, testing, and evaluating printed organic solar cells. Your primary focus will be experimental work: planning and executing experiments, characterizing device performance, investigating failure modes, and generating high-quality experimental data that helps us better understand and continuously improve our technology.
You will start by learning our materials, processes and device architecture while supporting experimental work alongside experienced engineers. As your understanding grows, you'll gradually take ownership of experiments - from planning and fabrication to analysis and interpretation of results.
The role is based full-time at our headquarters in Linköping, where you will collaborate closely with an international team of R&D engineers, Technical Project Leaders, Laboratory assistants and Phd students.
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for an analytical, curious, and hands-on engineer who genuinely enjoys working close to materials and understanding what makes them behave the way they do. You are the kind of person who doesn't stop at "it works" - you want to understand why it works. You enjoy diving deep into experimental results, questioning unexpected outcomes, and designing the next experiment to uncover new insights.
You have:
A Master's degree in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, or a related field
Relevant work life experience in a similar role
Hands-on laboratory experience and a genuine interest in experimental work, materials, and device characterization
Strong communication skills and fluency in English
Beneficial: Phd in related field
Just as importantly, you enjoy sharing ideas with others. You like discussing experimental results, challenging hypotheses, and explaining your reasoning. Whether you are presenting data, reflecting on why an experiment behaved unexpectedly, or brainstorming the next steps with colleagues, you can communicate your technical thinking clearly and contribute to an open, collaborative R&D environment.
Finally – you are someone who actually loves spending all day in a lab!
Application procedure
Does this role sound exciting? Then apply today! We will start going through applications from end of August. Starting date is flexible, but sooner rather than later.
Good to know
We use psychometric tests, such as personality and logic assessments, as part of our recruitment process to ensure fairness and objectivity. These tests help us look beyond a CV and understand each candidate’s natural strengths, problem-solving ability, and working style. By using standardized assessments, we create a more equal opportunity for all applicants, reduce bias, and make sure the role is a good match for both the candidate and the team.
