Aerospace Engineer

At Allen Control Systems, a Series A-funded defense tech company, our mission is to revolutionize counter-drone warfare by creating robotic systems that autonomously detect, track, and neutralize aerial threats, thereby safeguarding military and civilian assets. As an Aerospace Engineer, you will contribute to the aerodynamic design and propulsion integration of our advanced platforms, ensuring optimal flight dynamics and stability. Key responsibilities encompass simulating airflow using CFD tools like ANSYS, designing airframes and control surfaces for high-speed maneuvers, integrating sensors and actuators for precise targeting, and conducting wind tunnel tests to refine prototypes. You'll work closely with the robotics team to embed machine learning algorithms for real-time decision-making, while adhering to ITAR regulations and defense industry standards. This position requires expertise in aerospace principles, including fluid mechanics and structural analysis, and involves hands-on fabrication using techniques like composite layup and CNC machining. Ideal candidates hold a Bachelor's in Aerospace Engineering with 2-5 years of experience in drone or missile systems, strong analytical skills, and a drive to innovate in hard tech. Be part of a locked-in founding team reindustrializing America's defense capabilities through domestic manufacturing and cutting-edge engineering.
