Apply on USAJOBS: https://www.usajobs.gov/Search/Results?k=patent+examiner https://www.usajobs.gov/Search/Results?k=patent+examiner Looks like the USPTO is hiring in multiple areas right now. It might take a couple attempts to get hired. I was rejected the first time I applied. The USPTO doesn't care much about an applicant's background aside from whether the applicant has a technical degree. New examiners with expertise in particular areas probably won't be assigned to their areas of expertise, even if there's a strong demand for examiners in those areas. Yes, this makes no sense, but it's how the USPTO operates at the moment. I had zero experience with the areas I was assigned before I became an examiner. (Again, this is all just my opinion, not that of the USPTO, US govt., etc.)
