Embedded Software Engineer Graduate Co-op

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; Interface with technology SMEs to integration new algorithms and subsystems into vehicle platforms; Support flight tests. Including setup, system checkouts, ground station operation, log retrieval and analysis, and debugging; Communicate design status, test results, and suggestions in a timely and efficient manner

Requirements

Working towards a MS degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field; Strong proficiency with C/C++, Python, and Rust; Experience with RTOS and embedded communication protocols (UART, I2C, CAN, etc); Experience with control hardware setup. Examples include telemetry harness setup, radio configuration, power system installation and monitoring; Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills; US CITIZENSHIP REQUIRED and ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance

Nice to have

Strong and diverse background with an emphasis on software development for embedded systems; Prior experience working on multi-disciplinary projects that exist at the confluence of mechanical, electrical, systems, and software engineering; Ability to decompose complex problems into their constituent components, devise plans for executing each piece of the problem, and follow-through on solution development, test, and verification
