Job description

About Merlin:
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:

You will be the primary interface between your assigned test article and those wanting access to it. You must be able to regularly coordinate competing demands for access while accommodating maintenance or modification capability, weather, and crewing. You should have at least basic knowledge of aircraft technical work and primarily enforce correct execution of company processes including inspections, quality assurance, and the appropriate airworthiness certificates.

Responsibilities:
  • Ensure all work performed on the flight test article is authorized through the company work order process
  • Control and document the test article configuration through installation and modification.
  • Coordinate and schedule all aircraft work to maximize overall company efficiency towards executing tests.
  • Maintain an openly available aircraft schedule via smartsheet or MS Project to track maintenance activity and mods.
    Using the company’s aircraft modification sheet, act as or interact with stakeholders to manage:
  • Component tracking
  • Hourly and calendar tracking
  • Weight and balance tracking
  • Squawks impacting flight readiness
  • Preflight briefing contributions
  • Flight test instrumentation requests
  • Modification requests - test or prototype
  • Routine maintenance
  • Engineering orders
  • Requests for conformity
  • Functional test procedures
Qualifications:
  • Experience as a flight test engineer, A&P mechanic, or aircraft inspector.
  • Excellent organizational skills for the ever-changing needs of flight test aircraft.
  • Basic understanding of civil certification requirements regarding conformity
  • Basic database skills associated with tracking aircraft and component configurations
Nice to Haves:
  • Ability to plan aircraft test team deployments.
  • Experience executing the processes listed above.
