SENIORITY

About the role
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office is seeking engineers to examine ideas that benefit society and to bring innovation to market.
You will shape the future of patent examination, advance key processes, and support innovation in cutting‑edge ways. Applicants should have a four‑year engineering degree (or equivalent education and experience); ABET accreditation; and familiarity with engineering science concepts.
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.
