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:
You habitually take ownership of a task or significant engineering effort, defining, scoping and leading it to completion, collaborating and requesting help when needed. In return, you seek an innovative startup that values its employees and invests in their professional development.
You are interested in building cutting-edge simulation technology in an autonomous aviation context. From software powering equipment for integration testing, to piloted flight simulators and training platforms providing synthetic sensor data, this role has high breadth and nearly unlimited depth in each of our focus areas.
Your Role:
You’ll develop the simulation environment and also adapt it to power systems benches, desktop testing environments, piloted simulators, and cloud environments.You'll collaborate with teammates on improving graphics and terrain pipelines to harmonize our sensor and visual models.You'll work across the engineering organization to integrate models and hardware with our greater simulation suite.You’ll have the opportunity to collaborate with stakeholders in flight test, human factors, business development and engineering.
Your Qualifications:
You have a high level of competence in modern software engineering practices.You are comfortable engineering software in C++ 11+ and are familiar with either Python or JavaScript/TypeScript.You set standards, conduct code reviews and ensure appropriate levels of testing and continuous integration for projects within your purview.
Preferred Qualifications:
Aviation background (e.g. a pilot's license or in previous employment)Robotics or simulation experience, especially in a robotics machine learning contextPerformance engineering or distributed systems experienceExperience with React and front-end developmentSimulink experience, especially integrating Simulink with other C++ applicationsExperience configuring continuous integrationGraphics engine experience, especially Unreal via the C++ API or in managing Unreal as a render farm
Please don't be dissuaded if you do not meet the above preferred qualifications-- we welcome you to apply!
