Meet Jason Morris – CMCD Engineering Lead for PMA-209, LAUNCH Ambassador, and Precise Systems’ Employee Spotlight for October 2023.
Jason has been an integral part of our Precise Team since 2016. As a Senior Principal Engineer with our NAVAIR PMA-209 customer, he supports the Common Mission Computing and Displays (CMCD) Team.
Among many noteworthy contributions and accolades, Jason recently participated in a panel for the inaugural MOSA Industry & Government Summit & Expo as a Subject Matter Expert, highlighting the work of bringing flexibility and interoperability to Naval Aircraft using Open Standards. When we asked Jason what participating on the panel meant, he said, “Sitting on the panel was an honor to be among a group to talk about the challenges of implementing Open Standards. The interest and discussion that took place was amazing, especially with it being the first MOSA Summit.”
Jason is also a contributing founder of the Engineering Focus under the company’s LAUNCH Program, the Precise Systems’ Center of Excellence.
Jason, along with his colleagues, is putting the foundations of the Engineering Focus of LAUNCH that will provide thought leadership, establish and promote best practices, support research and development within the focus, support education and professional growth across the organization, further developing and innovating the Precise Systems Advanced Engineering capability.
While he has seen incredible success in his Engineering career, Jason did not always have his sights set on this particular path. His original goal was to major in Criminal Justice and become a detective. Still, his hopes for a Navy ROTC Scholarship led him to pursue a degree in Electrical Computer Engineering. After being part of the Nuclear Navy, he realized that his interest in Engineering was increasing, and his desire to be a detective had fallen to the wayside. This interest led him to further his Engineering expertise with a Master of Science in Engineering Management from Old Dominion University in 2005 and another Masters in Systems Engineering from George Washington University in 2014.
Outside of the office, Jason loves to travel! Aside from Hawaii and Alaska, he has visited every state in the U.S. However, visiting those last two states is #1 on his bucket list. He would also love to take a trip to Ireland and vacation on a cruise!
Precise is so grateful to have Jason on the Team. His hard work and dedication to the company, the LAUNCH program’s success, and his contributions to innovating engineering to support the warfighter are unparalleled.
