The posting

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!

E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.

We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.

About the Role

E-Space designs and manufactures low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites for 5G communications, associated ground-based Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and radar systems for space-based and ground-based applications.

We are seeking a Senior Patent Agent to take substantial ownership of patent preparation and prosecution across these technologies. Working directly with Lead IP Counsel and engineering teams, you will turn complex inventions into high-quality patent applications and pursue commercially meaningful claim coverage.

This is a hands-on role: approximately 60% of your time will involve drafting applications, with approximately 30–40% devoted to prosecution. You will personally draft most assigned applications and all U.S. Office Action responses for assigned matters, and review outside counsel’s non-U.S. Office Action responses. The role calls for an experienced practitioner who can produce high-quality work with limited supervision and is proficient using AI-based tools effectively.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Patent drafting and invention development. Interview inventors, develop technical disclosures, and personally draft provisional and nonprovisional utility patent applications, including claims, specifications, and drawing instructions. Identify broad claim coverage and well-supported fallback positions.
  • U.S. prosecution. Analyze Office Actions and cited references; develop response strategies; prepare substantive responses and claim amendments; and conduct examiner interviews.
  • International prosecution. Review and provide instructions on foreign counsel’s proposed responses and amendments for technical accuracy, claim scope, and consistency with portfolio objectives. Coordinate with outside counsel on PCT and national phase matters.
  • Portfolio strategy. Recommend filing, claim, and continuation strategies for Lead IP Counsel’s approval. Assume increasing responsibility for selected portfolio decisions as familiarity with the business and portfolio grows and authority is delegated.
  • Collaboration and execution. Work with engineers, the IP paralegal, and outside counsel to resolve substantive issues, meet deadlines, and align patent work with product development and business priorities.

Required Qualifications:

  • At least five years of substantive utility patent preparation and prosecution experience; ten or more years is strongly preferred. Demonstrated ability to independently handle complex drafting and prosecution matters with limited supervision is essential.
  • Active registration and good standing to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in utility patent matters.
  • Bachelor’s degree or higher in electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, software engineering, aerospace engineering, or a closely related discipline, with a strong foundation in communications and electronic systems.
  • Substantial patent preparation and prosecution experience in wireless communications, together with a strong technical foundation and patent experience involving related software, electronic hardware, and antenna systems.
  • Demonstrated skill in personally drafting complex patent applications, developing claim strategies, and preparing substantive Office Action responses.
  • Proficiency using AI-based tools with sound judgment in evaluating and verifying their output.
  • Strong command of U.S. patent drafting and prosecution requirements, including patent eligibility, novelty, obviousness, written description, enablement, and claim clarity; familiarity with PCT procedures and foreign prosecution through local counsel.
  • Ability to work directly with inventors, understand complex architectures, identify inventive features, and manage multiple matters with strong writing, analytical, organizational, and communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience preparing and prosecuting patent applications involving phased array antenna systems and IoT devices is highly desirable.
  • Experience with satellite communications, non-terrestrial networks, spacecraft technologies, or space-based or ground-based radar is a plus.
  • Experience with 5G/NR, cellular protocols, RF systems, beamforming, beam steering, signal processing, embedded software, firmware, or digital hardware.
  • In-house experience or law firm experience supporting technology companies with international patent portfolios; prior engineering or research experience is also valued.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
