About the role

MBHB, a leading IP law firm in Chicago, seeks a Technical Advisor or Patent Agent with deep quantum information science expertise. You will translate complex quantum concepts into robust patent applications and support attorneys in strategy and prosecution. No prior legal experience is required; candidates should have a PhD or Master’s in a relevant field and be eligible for USPTO exam within one year. This role blends advanced tech with law in a fast-paced, client-driven environment.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
