• Experience translating technical depth into admissions strategy and storytelling

Also Considered (Secondary Priority)

• Former admissions officers from engineering-focused schools or colleges
• College admissions counselors with extensive experience placing students into competitive engineering or STEM programs
• STEM educators or academic advisors with direct admissions advising exposure

Preferred Qualifications

• Graduate degree in engineering, computer science, or a related technical field
• Industry experience in engineering, technology, or applied research in addition to admissions or counseling work
• Demonstrated outcomes advising students admitted to highly competitive STEM programs (CS, EE, ME, biomedical engineering, applied math, etc.)

Why Engineers Thrive at PathIvy

• You work with motivated, high-caliber students
• You apply your technical background in a people-facing, impact-driven role
