Merlin Labs
Merlin Labs builds an aircraft-agnostic autonomy system—Merlin Pilot—that acts as a non-human pilot from takeoff to touchdown for civil and defense operators. The company sells AI-powered flight software and integration services, validated through hundreds of autonomous test flights across multiple aircraft. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Boston, it is listed on NASDAQ (MRLN) and has secured $100M+ in awarded contracts from military customers.

Staff Software Integration Engineer building real-time software and telemetry systems that connect aircraft avionics, hardware-in-the-loop environments, simulation models, and flight-test data systems. This hands-on role spans embedded Linux, avionics interfaces, asynchronous services, networking, testing, and onsite hardware integration.
Senior Human-Machine Teaming Engineer developing software and applied research capabilities for autonomous airborne systems. The role combines human-subject experimentation, simulation, integration, and flight testing to improve human-machine and machine-machine teaming.
Own the development of learned world models that predict aircraft, environment, and traffic dynamics, enabling planners to evaluate future flight outcomes before acting. This on-site Boston role combines deep learning, uncertainty modeling, simulation, and real-world flight validation for autonomous aviation.
Build and integrate autonomy software that enables aircraft to fly autonomously from takeoff to touchdown. This hands-on role spans robotics algorithms, embedded systems, simulation, and real-world flight testing.
