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!
We are seeking a Chief Engineer to lead the technical definition of a new Merlin product. The ideal candidate will collaborate closely with our internal certification, system safety, human factors, systems engineering, software engineering, and R&D teams to develop program requirements. They will work with the CTO and VP Certification to define the technology and certification strategies needed to build the new product. Additionally, the Chief Engineer will focus on identifying and designing the many required interfaces between Merlin’s system and existing aircraft equipment, and participate in external collaboration with partners and customers to develop and explain our aircraft specific integration strategy. As the program matures, the Chief Engineer will transition to see the product through development and certification, or transition to a subsequent new program Engineering Lead role as Merlin continues to grow.
