Patent Examiner Positions Posted for Detroit Office

By just_n_examiner

In case anyone missed it in the comment thread below, the Office posted examiner positions for the new Detroit office yesterday. There are openings listed for Mechanical and Electrical Engineers. Both postings are open until March 30th, and both cite 'MANY vacancies'.

All of the posted jobs are GS-11 positions, and after glancing at the requirements, it looks like they may be limited to candidates with prior patent prosecution experience or advanced degrees.

The Detroit office is currently scheduled to open in late July.

You can find information by following the newly-added link to the uspto careers web page on the right under 'useful links'.
