Job description

As an Embedded Software Engineer at MORSE, you will be developing software to support 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 flight software to introduce new capabilities for autonomous aircraft, setting up and performing simulations to support integration efforts, and supporting flight tests to evaluate algorithm 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 for novel fixed wing and multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles

  • Developing new software functionality for autonomous UAV flight by modifying PX4 autopilot with new software

  • Integrating novel autonomy algorithms into UAV flight software, migrating from Python to C/C++ if necessary

  • Updating and executing simulation software to test and evaluate novel algorithms

  • Supporting the development of preflight planning tools in Python that interface with data and UI tools via web API

  • Interface with technology SMEs to integration new algorithms and subsystems into vehicle platforms.

  • Support flight tests of UAS and UAVs. 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

The ideal candidate will have a 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 is strongly desired.  Finally, the ideal candidate should be able 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.

  • BS or MS in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field

  • 5+ years of embedded software development and experience deploying embedded software

  • Strong proficiency with C/C++, Python, and Rust 

  • Familiarity with PX4, Ardupilot, or similar. Integration into commercial platforms and configuration for flight.

  • 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

  • Willingness and desire to travel for, and participate in, field tests up to 10% of each year

  • US CITIZENSHIP REQUIRED and ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance
