Vice President, Air Vehicle Integration

Merlin is building the world’s most capable non-human pilot. As VP of Air Vehicle Integration & Hardware Development, you’ll lead the team responsible for adapting and integrating the Merlin Pilot autonomy system across a fleet of aircraft—from Part 23 and Part 25 airframes to Group 2 UAS. You’ll define how autonomy meets airworthiness: taking ownership of aircraft adaptation, avionics and wiring, mechanical integration, environmental qualification, and configuration management that enables safe, certifiable, and repeatable flight. You’ll work closely with Systems Engineering, Autonomy Software, Compute Platform Integration & Test, Flight Test, and Certification to deliver aircraft that are ready for autonomy at scale.
