Contract Flight Simulator Engineer information

What is the difference between Contract Flight Simulator Engineer vs Contract Avionics Technician?

AspectContract Flight Simulator EngineerContract Avionics Technician
Required CredentialsBachelor's in aerospace, engineering, or related field; certifications in simulation systemsAssociate's or bachelor's in electronics or avionics; certifications like FAA or EASA
Work EnvironmentSimulation labs, aerospace companies, training centersAircraft maintenance facilities, aerospace manufacturing plants
Employer & Industry UsagePrimarily aerospace, defense, training organizationsAircraft operators, maintenance providers, aerospace manufacturers

While both roles involve technical expertise in aerospace systems, Contract Flight Simulator Engineers focus on developing and maintaining flight simulation software and hardware, whereas Contract Avionics Technicians handle the installation, repair, and maintenance of aircraft electronic systems. Their work environments and certifications overlap but serve different aspects of aerospace operations.

Job description

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.

About you:
You are an experienced flight controls engineer passionate about autonomous flight who wants to contribute to making airplanes fly themselves. You are familiar with fixed wing aircraft and the classical and modern methods used to control them automatically. You know how to use industry standard tools for this work, and you are excited to work on novel applications.

Responsibilities:
  • Design and implement flight controls for our aircraft automation system.
  • Decompose system requirements into low level flight controls requirements
  • Help create and use the simulation tools needed for development and testing including
  • Simulink control law modeling, analysis using MATLAB and Python.
  • Participate in flight testing for system identification and verification of control law performance on multiple aircraft types.
  • Own the flight control system from end-to-end and be responsible for product delivery to programs and customers
  • Collaborate across Merlin to develop novel, certifiable systems to solve the toughest problems in aviation and autonomy.
Qualifications:
  • BS in Aerospace/Mechanical/Electrical Engineering
  • 5+ years of experience developing control systems for fixed wing aircraft, with demonstrated understanding of fixed wing aircraft dynamics, classical and modern control design / analysis
  • Experience decomposing systems requirements into high level requirements for both outer loop and inner loop control design
  • Experience working in Model Based Development and certification of flight control systems, including proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink or another model-based development toolset
  • Experience designing, implementing, and testing software for real-time systems
  • Experience with linear model development, linear analysis and frequency domain gain tuning techniques
Nice to Haves:
  • MS/PhD in Aerospace Engineering and/or Controls
  • Experience developing never-before-flown control systems
  • Experience extracting linear state space models from flight test data
  • Experience working directly with customers and being a company representative
  • Pilot license
  • Proficiency in C/C++ or Python
Merlin Labs offers an innovative, entrepreneurial, and team-focused startup environment. We also offer a top-notch benefits package (health, dental, life, unlimited vacation, and 401k with match) and work/life integration.
