About the role

Vanguard-IP is seeking a candidate with a strong mechanical engineering background and proven experience in drafting and prosecuting medical device patent applications. The role requires evaluating freedom-to-operate and patentability analyses, performing due diligence, and managing patent portfolios. Candidates should hold an undergraduate (or higher) degree in mechanical engineering, have a license in good standing in their resident state, and be registered before the USPTO.

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.
