Teams at Merlin Labs

Lead systems engineering for flight autonomy: define subsystem features, requirements, architectures, and test strategies. Manage cross-functional execution, perform V&V, review artifacts with customers and regulators, and collaborate with safety, hardware, and software teams to integrate requirements and interfaces for safety-critical autonomous flight systems.

Lead systems integration for avionics and mission systems from requirements through demonstration on civil-certified and commercial-derivative aircraft. Define CONOPS and architectures, manage requirements and interfaces across hardware/software/safety teams, host design reviews, coordinate suppliers/customers/regulators, and support certification planning, verification, and test in experimental R&D flight test environments.

The Technical Program Manager will coordinate and manage complex aerospace and defense programs, ensuring execution and alignment across teams, while driving technical delivery and stakeholder communication.
