Job description

MORSE Corp is an employee owned, small business based in Cambridge, MA, Arlington, VA, and Seattle, WA with a history of fielding cutting-edge technology. MORSE boasts a specially selected team of scientists, engineers, and software developers to deliver best-in-class technical solutions that solve difficult multidisciplinary problems faced by the US National Security Ecosystem.

As an Embedded Software Engineer Co-op at MORSE, you will be developing software to support Hardware/Software integration or Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) R&D programs. In this role, you will be involved with all aspects of the engineering design cycle from concept through deployment.

Your responsibilities will include integrating novel algorithms with software, setting up and performing simulations to support integration efforts, and supporting flight tests to evaluate software performance. You will play a critical role in flight testing by defining test objectives, configuring software on aircraft avionics, and operating ground stations to monitor and control aircraft in flight.

Working alongside experts in sensing and control technologies, you will help integrate cutting-edge capabilities into novel platforms and support testing in both lab and field environments. In this position, you are motivated to focus on the intersection of the user, software, and hardware to ensure that deployed autonomous systems can execute their mission successfully while exceeding the customer’s expectations.

Responsibilities

Develop embedded software

Updating and executing simulation software to test and evaluate novel capabilities

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
