Robotics Engineer

Allen Control Systems (ACS) is a cutting-edge defense technology company specializing in autonomous precision robotics, particularly for counter-drone threats and remote weapon stations. Founded to equip the US military and allies with advanced, AI-powered systems that enhance battlefield safety and efficiency, ACS is at the forefront of modernizing defense hardware in response to rapidly evolving threats like drone proliferation. As a Robotics Engineer, you would contribute to the development of autonomous remote weapon stations, focusing on integrating mechanical components, sensors, and control systems for precise targeting and operation. This role involves hands-on work in prototyping, testing, and iterating on robotic assemblies, ensuring they meet stringent military standards for reliability and performance in harsh environments. You'll collaborate with a team of dedicated engineers to design mechanisms for turret movement, payload integration, and automation, leveraging skills in mechanical design, manufacturing processes, and robotics programming. Given the company's mission to deploy life-saving technology quickly, the position demands a builder's mindset—someone locked in on solving hard problems in defense tech. With recent Series A funding, ACS is scaling rapidly, offering opportunities to work on groundbreaking projects that support the reindustrialization of American defense manufacturing. No prior defense experience required, but a passion for hard tech and willingness to tackle complex engineering challenges is essential.
