Senior Human-Machine Teaming Engineer

Merlin, a cutting-edge company focused on enhancing human-machine interaction in aviation. As a Senior Human-Machine Teaming Engineer, you will contribute to the technical direction and implementation of capabilities supporting human-machine and machine-machine teaming for autonomous airborne systems.

You’re excited to enhance how humans interact with complex automated systems

Responsibilities

• You will design, develop, and deploy novel teaming capabilities, propose and execute applied research and human subject experiments, and contribute to simulation, integration, and flight test activities.
• You will also collaborate across Merlin to develop innovative systems that address the toughest challenges in aviation and autonomy.
• Contribuer à la direction technique et à la mise en œuvre de capacités soutenant le travail d'équipe homme-machine et machine-machine pour les systèmes aériens autonomes.
• Concevoir, développer et déployer des capacités de travail d'équipe novatrices qui améliorent mesurablement la performance, la sécurité et la résilience des équipes homme-machine.
• Proposer, concevoir et exécuter des recherches appliquées et des expériences avec des sujets humains pour évaluer les capacités de travail d'équipe homme-machine dans des opérations réalistes.
• Single- and multi-vehicle autonomy, resource allocation, and decision making algorithms
• Experience in modern software development workflows and practices, including version control, pipelines, and unit testing, and peer review

Requirements

• You take pride in writing high-quality, maintainable code, and are driven to improve interactive teaming behaviors through human subject testing and integration into real airborne systems
• You are comfortable with either leading technical projects or contributing independently to software development and experimentation
• You are an experienced engineer with a background in autonomous systems, aviation, or robotics who is motivated to build software that enables effective human-machine and machine-machine teaming
• Experience with overall product development cycle, including design, testing, and troubleshooting at the system level as well as at the software component level
• Degree in Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, Robotics Engineering, or a related subject
• Human-machine interaction for crewed aircraft and/or UAS
• 5+ years of professional experience (including graduate work) developing software for airborne autonomous systems
• Software development for physiological signal monitoring
• Experience with Linux and open-source development tools
• Experience with technical writing
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to learn and contribute across different technical domains
• Deep experience in one or more of the following:
• Proficiency writing code in Python
• Algorithmic modeling for human cognitive state analysis
• Proficiency in C++ and ROS
• Experience designing focused research plans and experiments to evaluate human-machine and machine-machine teaming effectiveness

Preferred

• Experience with perception systems, sensor fusion, world modeling concepts, or Bayesian probabilistic methods
• Familiarity with simulation software, especially aircraft simulation
• Experience with proposal writing and technical roadmap development
• Experience with hardware and software integration and debugging
• Experience with flight testing (uncrewed or crewed aircraft)
• Pilot license and flight experience is a plus
