Position Overview

We are seeking a dedicated Electrical Engineering Patent Attorney with 3-6 years of experience to join our client's team near Boulder, CO. This firm offers associates the unique opportunity to have direct client contact with front-line responsibility, not back‑office grunt work. Additionally, our client offers:

• A clear pathway to partnership: Advancement isn’t a decades‑long fuzzy prospect; top performers who are integral to the firm’s future will see a clear path to ownership.
• Work‑life balance: Predictable hours plus flexibility to pursue passions, whether family, sports, or study.
• Skill ownership: Boutique practice means broad experience – drafting, advising, negotiating, and even helping shape firm culture.

For mid‑level associates (3rd‑6th year), the firm offers transparent, performance‑based compensation with base salaries typically ranging from $180,000 to $250,000, determined by your productivity and client service level. High performers have significant upside potential through collections participation and merit bonuses that reward actual contribution, not just billable hours.

Comprehensive health benefits are also offered as well as robust retirement planning options.

Requirements

• JD from 2019 through 2022.
• Electrical engineering undergraduate degree or 3+ years of EE experience.
