Description
About Us: 
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.

About You:
You are a recent graduate or early career software engineer with a passion for aviation and autonomous technologies. You are known for your inclusive optimism, inventiveness, and drive to learn and grow. You have a background in computer science, software engineering, and/or a related discipline. You crave variety and want to contribute to the embedded avionics software, supporting tools, and processes that make it possible to certify novel solutions. You might have classroom or practical experience with aerospace, embedded avionics software development (model-based & manual code), and/or autonomy, or maybe you’ve developed technology for uncrewed and autonomous vehicles. You have experience across the software stack, from embedded systems to high-level autonomy, and are ready to contribute to innovative and certifiable aviation technologies.

Responsibilities:

  • Join the Merlin Avionics software team developing software across the stack of an aircraft autonomy system, contributing to both lower level embedded systems and higher level autonomy function areas.
  • Develop tools, infrastructure, and other supporting software for integration, maintenance, and testing.
  • Learn from and work closely with industry experts on growing your skills in the design, development, documenting, and testing of software and architecture for our safety critical systems.
  • Troubleshoot, debug, maintain, and improve software
  • Collaborate across Merlin to develop novel, certifiable systems to solve the toughest problems in aviation and autonomy.

Qualifications:

  • Degree in Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, Robotics Engineering, or a related subject.
  • Experience coding and testing in both Python and C++.
  • Familiarity with MATLAB/Simulink or Ansys SCADE model-based development. 
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Nice to Haves:

  • Experience developing certified software for flight control systems, flight management systems, or other safety critical avionics systems.
  • Experience designing and implementing software for real-time operating systems (RTOS), with strong knowledge of low level topics such as device driver development, interrupt handling, memory management, and performance estimation.
  • Experience in verification of embedded model-based or C/C++ developed software.
  • Experience with hardware and software integration and debugging.
  • 1 - 2 years of professional experience developing software for physical systems such as aircraft, robotics, or medical devices.
  • Experience with web technologies, especially React and Node.js.
  • Exposure to the overall product development cycle, including design, testing, and troubleshooting at the system and software component levels.

Bonus:

  • Knowledge/experience in DO-178C.
  • Familiarity with simulation software, especially aircraft simulation.
  • Experience with flight testing (uncrewed or crewed aircraft).
  • A pilot license and/or flight experience.
Merlin Labs offers an innovative, entrepreneurial, and team-focused startup environment. We also offer a top-notch benefits package (health, dental, life, unlimited vacation, and 401k with match) and work/life integration. Being part of the Merlin team allows you to become part of a small team that supports professional development while working together to achieve our mission.
