What are the responsibilities and job description for the Simulation Software Engineer position at Merlin?
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:
Location: This role is remote with approximately twice-a-quarter travel expected. Hybrid work options are available in Boston, Denver, and Mojave
Merlin Labs offers an innovative, entrepreneurial, and team-focused startup environment.

- You’ll have the opportunity to collaborate with stakeholders in flight test, human factors, business development and engineering
- 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
- Aviation background (e.g. a pilot's license or in previous employment)
- Robotics or simulation experience, especially in a robotics machine learning context
- Performance engineering or distributed systems experience
- Experience with React and front-end development
- Simulink experience, especially integrating Simulink with other C applications
- Experience configuring continuous integration
- Graphics engine experience, especially Unreal via the C API or in managing Unreal as a render farm
