Key skills for this role
Allen Control Systems (ACS) is a cutting-edge defense startup, founded by two former Navy electrical engineers with a proven track record in robotics and software. We are developing a small, autonomous gun turret that employs advanced computer vision and control systems to precisely target and neutralize small drones and loitering munitions. Our innovative approach requires overcoming significant technical challenges, making this an exciting and dynamic environment for experienced engineers.
With an engineering-first culture, ACS values technical excellence and innovation. Backed by our founders' successful exits from two previous venture acquired for a combined $180M in 2022, we are committed to ensuring that the groundbreaking technologies we develop will have a real-world impact.

We are seeking a Software Platform/Infrastructure Engineer to own the software that builds, provisions, updates, and manages our fleet of autonomous systems in the field. You will be responsible for the delivery of "robot factory software" — the imaging, deployment, and fleet-management layer that everything else ships on.
