About Merlin:

Merlin is a venture backed aerospace startup building a non-human pilot to enable both reduced crew and uncrewed flight. Backed by some of the world’s leading investors, Merlin is scaling alongside our customers to begin leveraging autonomy today to solve some of aviation’s biggest challenges.

All of the sky, none of the limits!

Who you are:

Are you a creative and experienced electrical engineer who is passionate about developing systems on the forefront of technology? Do you believe you can build better aircraft systems using agile and robust development methods? Would you like to own a significant percentage of key systems for a new product? If so, you might be a good fit for the team in a Senior Avionics Electrical Engineer role here at Merlin Labs.

Lead and perform avionics systems integration and testing of components of our aircraft autonomy system.

Write and maintain electrical systems requirements documents, electrical load analyses, and other related documents for prototyping and certification.

Write, maintain and execute test plans and design verification documents.

Specify, identify, integrate and verify Commercial/Modified-Off-the-Shelf (COTS/MOTS) electronic subsystems for aircraft installation.

Prepare and release electrical design and fabrication documentation for partners, vendors, and customers.

Work with suppliers, managing their performance to requirements, budget and schedule.

Provide guidance to other electrical engineers and technicians across the team working on electrical and electronic aspects of the system architecture and schematics including power, computer, electro-mechanical, interconnect systems, wireless communications, cable harnesses, packaging, cable routing, and user interfaces and controls.

This position may require up to 50% travel to both domestic and international locations to support hardware integration.
