  • Collaborate with inventors and in-house counsel to understand new technologies and develop tailored patent strategies.

  • Contribute to the development and management of client IP portfolios.

  • Present findings and strategies clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

  • Participate in a collaborative work environment, with approximately 60% in-office participation expected.

Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, or a closely related field.

  • Registered or eligible for registration with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

  • Strong analytical and communication skills, with the ability to explain complex scientific concepts clearly.

  • Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple priorities effectively.

  • Team player with a proactive and collaborative approach.

Compensation & Benefits
  • Base salary range: $120,000 – $220,000

  • Annual bonus eligibility.
