Patent Engineer (Life Sciences)

What you'll do

• Partner with product and engineering teams to build tools for biologics patent analysis, drafting, sequence-listing support, and prior-art searching.
• Work with pharmaceutical and biotech customers to design, prototype, and deploy proofs of concept for large-molecule patent workflows.
• Translate biologics patent challenges into product requirements and lead technical sessions with patent professionals.

What they ask for

• At least two years of experience in biologics patent prosecution, pharmaceutical or biotech IP, or other large-molecule-focused patent work.
• Strong knowledge of molecular biology, biochemistry, immunology, or a related discipline, including protein and nucleic acid sequences and biologics development.
• Experience developing claim strategies for biologics, with understanding of written-description, enablement, sequence-listing, and functional-claiming requirements.
• Understanding of the patent lifecycle from invention disclosure through prosecution, grant, and enforcement.

Nice to have

• Experience at a patent law firm representing pharmaceutical or biotech clients, or as in-house patent counsel at a pharmaceutical or biotech company.
• Expertise in emerging modalities such as antibody-drug conjugates, bispecific antibodies, RNA therapeutics, or cell and gene therapies; or an advanced life sciences degree combined with patent training.
