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.
We’re looking for an Electromechanical Systems Engineer who loves designing, building and flying aerial vehicles to join our team at MORSE Corp. This role will span aircraft design, autonomous vehicle integration and testing, sensor technology and real‑time embedded software. In this position, you will be involved in every aspect of integrating fixed‑wing aircraft—from mechanical build and electronics packaging to system integration and complete mechanical and electrical checkout. You will play an integral part in flight testing, building up and configuring novel autonomous UAVs, and supporting flight‑test events from start to finish. The ideal candidate will be comfortable loading and configuring autopilot software and excited to work hands‑on across the entire development lifecycle, from initial assembly through operational flight testing.
Responsibilities
Design, build and flight test prototypes of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)
Build up and integrate both hardware and electronic systems
Apply problem‑solving skills to rapidly prototype and test novel ideas
Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to develop and integrate hardware and software components
Communicate effectively across technical and non‑technical audiences
Take ownership of projects from concept to delivery
Requirements
US citizenship and the ability to obtain a US security clearance
BS or MS (preferred) in Aeronautical/Aerospace, Mechanical Engineering or Electrical Engineering or an equivalent degree/major
Demonstrated experience applying first principles to solve complex problems
Familiarity with SolidWorks, Altium or other design tools
Electrical component selection and fabrication experience, including crimping and soldering
Familiarity with radio transceivers, power systems and integration into larger systems
Mechanical fabrication experience including laser cutting, woodworking, basic composites and additive manufacturing
Strong communication skills
Self‑starter and planner
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with unmanned aerial systems (fixed wing & VTOL platforms), flight controllers, power systems, sensors, navigation, communications and R/C‑based solutions
Strong understanding of aircraft design, flight mechanics, aircraft stability and control
RC aircraft hobbyist and familiarity with commercial autopilots & peripheral sensors
Experience with bench‑top and field experimental design to verify hardware design and performance requirements
Familiarity with PX4, ArduPilot or similar (parameter configuration, firmware updating and management, log download and data archival)
Compensation & Benefits MORSE Corp’s salary range for this role is $90,000 USD – $210,000 USD and may vary based on experience, education, skills and location. Total compensation may also include bonus, stock, 401(k) match, paid time off and medical, dental, vision and life insurance.
