EPO - European Patent Office

Munich and The Hague


In 2014 the European Patent Office plans to recruit more than 200 engineers and scientists to work as patent examiners. 

Our engineers and scientists - drawn from over 30 different European countries - work at the cutting edge of technology, examining the latest inventions in every technical field in order to protect and promote innovation in Europe. 

If you have a degree in physics, chemistry, engineering or the natural sciences, a good working knowledge of at least two of our official languages (English, French and German) and the willingness to learn the third, you too could be part of our team of patent examiners in Munich, The Hague and Berlin. 

We offer a competitive net salary (EUR 4.200-8.000 per month, depending on experience) as well as various benefits and allowances.
