Employer description
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; Quonset Point, 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 have hands-on experience navigating airworthiness security certification on a civil aviation program. You understand how DO-326A/ED-202A, ARP4754B, and DO-356A/ED-203A apply to certification programs, and you’ve built or contributed to a Plan for Security Aspects of Certification (PSecAC) or equivalent artifact where no process existed before. You know how to show compliance to applicable requirements for FAA/EASA or a Designated Engineering Representative (DER) approval.
Merlin Labs builds autonomous aviation systems for demanding defense customers, and we are establishing the civil side of our aviation cyber certification capability as our program portfolio grows. This is a foundational role: you will build the processes, procedures, and documentation that carry Merlin’s civil aviation cyber certification work, working with minimal supervision and closely with our Information Systems Security team on the military airworthiness side. If you have a builder’s, 0-to-1 mentality and want to own how Merlin approaches aviation cybersecurity certification, this is the role.
