We're still using the sky in the same way that we used it back in the 1960s. At Merlin, we're here to change that by building a pilot that takes the skills of a human pilot and translates them into software. Join us as we advance the future of autonomous flight to reduce crew workload and increase aviation safety.

Meet our Lead Engineer for our defense programs, Charles Njenga! 👋 Charles specifically works on the KC-135 and C-130J integrations, laying the foundational design that the team will follow and integrate to on the defense platforms. He liaises with the customer on behalf of the team and lead technical discussions. When asked what his favorite part about his work at Merlin is, Charles shared, "I love the design challenge of adapting the Merlin Pilot to various military platforms. I enjoy having to figure out the differences from a technical and certification perspective. I love the hands-on approach that allows me to get my hands dirty. I love getting different perspectives from the customer with different needs to address." Outside of work, Charles enjoys spending time with his family and friends, running, and cycling! He loves traveling to different parts of the USA and the world and has been to France, Germany, Turkey, South Korea, Japan, Canada, Kenya, Jamaica, Curacao, Bahamas, Haiti, and Mexico so far. Thank you for all that you do, Charles!

Are you interested in joining a team developing cutting-edge autonomy solutions? Weather, temporary flight restrictions, mechanical failure, and runway closures are just a few events that can affect a flight in real-time. To react to such events, our Autonomous Navigation (AutoNav) skill for the Merlin Pilot continuously evaluates the environment through various sensors and data sources to determine if a change to the environment conflicts with the current route.
