Responsibilities

Merlin is an early-stage autonomy company, building software to control sophisticated transportation systems. Our mission here at Merlin Labs is to develop hardware and software solutions that deliver the capability for aircraft to fly useful missions autonomously and safely. Our first product will be a certified system to bring automation to existing fixed wing aircraft. We’re backed by some of the top institutional venture capitalists in the country, our headquarters are located in Boston with hubs in Denver, Los Angeles and the Mojave Desert. Come join our diverse, world class team, made up of people from places like Google, Airbus, Boeing, UTC, the US Navy, and the US Air Force. All of the sky, none of the limits! Are you a flight controls engineer looking for something that you just can’t find in big aerospace? Do you dream in the frequency domain, or maybe in state space? Would you like to own a significant percentage of key systems for a new product? If so, you might be a good fit for the team in a Flight Controls Engineer role here at Merlin. The Role: Design and implement flight controls for our aircraft autonomy system. Write requirements for high level autonomy functions and low level flight control. Help create and use the simulation tools needed for development and testing (Simulink control law modeling, data analysis with MATLAB or Python). Participate in flight test to verify control law performance on multiple aircraft. Write, test, and document Simulink control law models according to Merlin’s development standards, and participate in certification activities. Collaborate across Merlin to develop novel, certifiable systems to solve the toughest problems in aviation and autonomy.
