Digital Power Electronics Firmware Engineer

Job description

Company Overview ACS (Allen Control Systems) is a defense technology company building precision robotic systems for the United States and its allies. Founded by two former U.S. Navy electrical engineers with deep experience in robotics and software, ACS brings together AI, computer vision, precision motion, and advanced hardware to solve complex defense challenges across land, air, and maritime environments.

Our flagship product, Bullfrog, is an autonomous precision weapon system that transforms existing weapons into highly accurate counter-drone systems — giving warfighters a scalable, cost-effective response to one of the fastest-growing threats on the modern battlefield.

Job responsibilities

  • Design and implement embedded firmware in C/C++ for digital control of power electronics systems, including DC-DC converters, voltage regulation, and power distribution.
  • Use simulation tools such as SPICE and MATLAB/Simulink to model, validate, and optimize control systems prior to hardware implementation.
  • Partner with electrical engineers to bring up and validate power electronics hardware; perform lab debugging and validation under various load conditions.
  • Improve efficiency, stability, and thermal performance of power systems through firmware optimization and continuous iteration.

Job requirements

  • 3+ years of experience in embedded firmware development with power electronics systems.
  • Experience with digital control of DC-DC converters, inverters, or power management systems; strong understanding of analog and digital power systems.
  • Proficiency in C/C++ for embedded systems and experience with microcontrollers such as STM32, TI C2000, or similar.
  • Familiarity with implementing control algorithms such as PID loops (including anti-windup), as well as PWM and phase-shift control for power topologies.
  • Familiarity with simulation tools including SPICE, MATLAB, and Simulink.
