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 an autonomous gun turret using advanced computer vision and control systems to precisely detect, track, and neutralize enemy drones.
With an engineering-first culture, ACS values technical excellence and innovation. Backed by our founders’ successful exits from two previous ventures 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 looking for a Software Engineer, Platform & Infrastructure to own the build systems, CI/CD pipelines, software-in-the-loop simulation infrastructure, and on-vehicle deployment tooling that our engineering team depends on every day. This is a mid-to-senior-level role for a generalist software engineer with strong fundamentals and practical experience in deployment and integration workflows.
Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines including unit test execution, code coverage reporting, and automated build checks running on GitHub Actions or equivalent; ensure the pipeline runs reliably on server infrastructure in the background without manual intervention.

Own and improve the build system and on-vehicle software deployment tooling; maintain CMake-based build configurations and ensure software can be reliably packaged, versioned, and pushed to aircraft in the field.
Maintain and extend software-in-the-loop simulation infrastructure, enabling engineers to run and validate flight software against simulated environments on remote servers without requiring physical hardware.
Manage flight log upload, storage, and retrieval pipelines using AWS or equivalent cloud storage; ensure logs from fielded aircraft are reliably captured, organized, and accessible to the engineering team.
Strong general software engineering fundamentals; proficiency in C++ is required and the ability to read and contribute to a C++ codebase is expected from day one.
Hands-on experience implementing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines; familiarity with GitHub Actions or a comparable CI platform and the ability to configure automated test, build, and deployment workflows.
Experience with software deployment and integration in embedded or constrained environments; comfort working with CMake-based build systems.
Ability to work independently and drive tasks to completion without close supervision; comfort operating in a fast-moving environment where requirements and priorities evolve.
Experience with AWS or similar cloud infrastructure for data storage, log management, or compute workloads.
Prior work in aerospace, defense, robotics, or autonomous systems where software runs on physical vehicles or platforms.
Experience with software-in-the-loop or hardware-in-the-loop simulation infrastructure.
Familiarity with perception, path planning, or other autonomy subsystems that this infrastructure will eventually need to support.
