Merlin (NASDAQ: MRLN) is a publicly traded aerospace and defense company building a non-human pilot to deliver full-stack autonomy for any aircraft from takeoff to touchdown. The Merlin Pilot autonomy system powers a growing range of aircraft and mission profiles and has been proven through hundreds of autonomous flights from Merlin's global flight test facilities, including Kerikeri, New Zealand; Quonset Point, Rhode Island; and soon, Bedford, Massachusetts. Headquartered in Boston, Merlin is expanding its organization to accelerate the development and deployment of its autonomy platform, helping customers solve some of aviation's most pressing challenges, from pilot shortages to improving flight safety. Backed by some of the world's leading investors prior to its public listing, Merlin continues to advance the certification and commercialization of autonomous flight across commercial and defense aviation.

About You:

The ideal candidate has a passion for aviation and a solid foundation in aircraft maintenance and support shop management. Attention to detail is crucial, as the role requires thorough modification planning and understanding of maintenance and inspection procedures. Strong problem solving skills are essential for diagnosing and resolving complex aircraft systems issues. Adaptability is key to thriving in our fast-paced environment, and the ability to work independently is highly valued. Excellent communication skills are necessary for effectively collaborating across our relevant department stakeholders. Safety remains a priority, and the candidate should demonstrate a proactive approach to identifying and mitigating risks. Initiative, professionalism, and a commitment to continuous learning are also highly valued traits in this role.
