Staff Engineer, Avionics Integration

Employer description

About Merlin:
Merlin (NASDAQ: MRLN) is a publicly traded aerospace and defense company building a non-human pilot to deliver full-stack autonomy for any aircraft from takeoff to touchdown. The Merlin Pilot autonomy system powers a growing range of aircraft and mission profiles and has been proven through hundreds of autonomous flights from Merlin’s global flight test facilities, including Kerikeri, New Zealand; Smithfield, Rhode Island; and soon, Bedford, Massachusetts. Headquartered in Boston, Merlin is expanding its organization to accelerate the development and deployment of its autonomy platform, helping customers solve some of aviation’s most pressing challenges, from pilot shortages to improving flight safety. Backed by some of the world’s leading investors prior to its public listing, Merlin continues to advance the certification and commercialization of autonomous flight across commercial and defense aviation. 

About You:
You’re a seasoned avionics integration engineer who thinks in systems, not just circuits. You’ve spent years pulling together sensors, computers, software, and airframes into aircraft that actually fly and get certified — and you’re ready to own the technical strategy for how Merlin integrates the Merlin Pilot across an entire fleet of platforms, not just a single program. You’re comfortable being the person a room full of engineers looks to when an integration problem doesn’t have an obvious owner, and you know how to turn ambiguity into a plan, a schedule, and a working aircraft.
