WORK HISTORY

ABOUT NEIL MOREHOUSE

I’m an engineering and mechanical design leader focused on building simple, durable, ergonomic, and reliable UAV platforms. My work blends hands-on design with production leadership, taking complex system concepts and turning them into scalable, repeatable, real world products.I currently lead engineering development and full facility operations at Draganfly’s Burnaby division overseeing mechanical design, manufacturing workflows, production teams, vendor integration, platform refinement, and the day to day operation of the building itself. My focus is pushing our platforms toward commoditization: cleaner designs, fewer failure points, smarter power systems, and consistent build quality across facilities.I specialize in:Mechanical design and system architectureReliable, high-performance drone platformsSimplification and commoditization of complex airframesProduction scale-up, workflow design, and cross-functional team leadershipVendor management and multi-facility manufacturing alignmentMy path into drones started nearly a decade ago through FPV and ground-up design work, but today my role is far broader: I design, build, refine, and operationalize the platforms that shape Draganfly’s product future. I’m at my best when solving difficult mechanical problems, making drones more reliable and intuitive, and leading the people and processes that bring those designs to life.I build drones that don’t just fly they survive, scale, and make sense.
