About Merlin Labs
Merlin is an early-stage autonomy company, building software to control sophisticated transportation systems. Our mission is to develop hardware and software solutions that enable aircraft to fly autonomously and safely. Our first product will be a certified system to automate existing fixed-wing aircraft. We are backed by top institutional venture capitalists and have headquarters in Boston with hubs in Denver, Los Angeles, and the Mojave Desert.
About the Role
As a Senior Tech Lead Software Engineer in Avionics, you will be responsible for leading the design and development of autonomous flight software. You will contribute to both lower-level embedded software and higher-level autonomy function areas. You will take part in designing and developing the software architecture for our safety-critical systems and provide leadership by example. This includes defining and implementing processes, writing and testing code, generating documentation, and ensuring our product ships and performs to the highest quality.
Responsibilities
- Lead the design and development of autonomous flight software.
- Contribute to software architecture for safety-critical systems.
- Drive the development of the software to project and certification milestones.
- Maintain the configuration and quality of the software by adhering to established standards and procedures.
- Collaborate cross-functionally to improve software and provide recommendations to update system requirements, architecture, or hardware to resolve issues.
- Develop novel, certifiable systems to solve tough problems in aviation and autonomy.
- Assist in hiring and mentoring to lead a strong and collaborative avionics software team.
Qualifications
- BS in Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
- 5+ years of experience in leading software teams in the development of embedded software.
- 10+ years of experience in embedded software development with demonstrable knowledge of C/C++.
- Expertise in Matlab/Simulink or Ansys SCADE model-based development.
- Experience developing certified software for flight control systems, flight management systems, or other safety-critical avionics systems.
- Experience in verification of embedded model-based or C/C++ developed software.
- 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.
Nice to Have
- Experience in robotics and autonomy, such as estimation, control, navigation, or computer vision.
Logistics
- Must be able to support travel to Boston Headquarters, Mojave Flight Test Facility, and Customer locations (approximately 25% annually).
