Feedback from our recent Graduate Engineers:

“I discovered the Morse Micro Graduate Program through a friend and I am incredibly happy that I did! Morse Micro truly has such a positive culture and I have felt so valued and supported in my work. Unlike some other programs, you are offered the opportunity to get your hands on experience, start a project from scratch and develop skills which you wouldn’t ordinarily come across. Through rotations across each team, I have learnt and been aware of the complexity of the work across all the teams helping to understand the whole insight of the system. After the rotation period, we get to choose the team that aligns with our skills and interests. The program motivates and structures a graduate really well to succeed in their career. Morse Micro has its own tech talks given by highly experienced professionals and being able to access the knowledge is a huge bonus of joining the program. Additionally, having access to a mentor during each rotation made the transition easy and to grow relationships with colleagues and develop goals for the career. I realized each and even small details learnt during university is important in practical terms, and I would advise others to pay attention to each detail. The one thing I have learnt from the grad program is, to ask as many questions to mentors and seniors, even the question you think it will sound basic, still ask. This helps to enhance learning, build relationships and improve problem solving skills. I would highly recommend this program to other graduates.” Yamin Aye, February 2023 Graduate Program 

‘’In university, one of my capstone ideas was to design a drone that can be controlled remotely via the internet (that idea was quickly turned down due to DJI and LoRa not capable of transmitting high bandwidth). During my studies, I heard about Morse Micro is the 1st company in Australia to develop a Wifi Halow chip that can transmit wifi ranging from 1-3km. So after graduating, when I knew that Morse Micro had a graduate program, I immediately applied as soon as possible. Had it not been for the graduate program, I don’t think I would have been able to work with so many talented people and have so many opportunities to challenge myself. I was a shy kid back in university but I quickly learned that in the real world if you want to know something, you have to ask. I remembered that I was struggling with one of the grad projects and had it not been for the help and encouragement of fellow Morse’s engineer, I wouldn’t have been able to figure out a solution. Advice I would give to the future graduates is to always have an open mindset and always challenge themselves to grow out of their comfort zone to progress their engineer journey.’’ Harry Nguyen, February 2022 Graduate Program

‘’The grad program at Morse Micro is a fantastic way to dive into the Wi-Fi and semiconductor worlds. You’ll get the chance to learn from engineers across a wide breadth of fields about some very cool tech. I really enjoyed that one week I was able to see the real-life application of something I had learnt at uni, and the next week I was learning about something I had never heard of before. Hearing from each team and learning about what they do is a great way to find your footing and appreciate the technology as a whole. I really valued the community that the grads share and the social part of the work. Being able to share learning about interesting tech and research makes the work so rewarding. If that is something you are looking for, then I can absolutely recommend the grad program. ‘’ Lewis O'Flynn, September 2024 Graduate Program
