Electrical Engineer, Wire Harness & Electrical Integration

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 Develop Wire Harness Systems: Create detailed wiring architectures, harness designs, and cable assemblies that support complex robotic and electromechanical systems.
  • Electrical Integration: Support system-level integration across sensors, computing systems, actuators, and power electronics to ensure reliable communication and power delivery throughout the platform.
  • Harness Documentation and Schematics: Develop wiring diagrams, pinout documentation, harness drawings, and electrical schematics to support both prototype and production systems.
  • Connector and Cable Selection: Define appropriate connectors, shielding strategies, grounding methods, and cable routing solutions to meet performance and environmental requirements.
  • Electromechanical Collaboration: Work closely with mechanical engineers to optimize harness routing, packaging, strain relief, and mechanical protection within compact system architectures.
  • Prototype Bring-Up and Debugging: Assist with hardware bring-up, troubleshooting wiring issues, and diagnosing electrical problems during system integration and testing.
  • Manufacturing Support: Work with technicians and manufacturing teams to support harness builds, documentation, and quality verification of cable assemblies.
  • Testing and Validation: Perform testing and validation of electrical harnesses and integrated systems to ensure reliability in field and lab environments.

Job requirements

  • Experience: 2–5+ years of experience in electrical engineering with hands-on experience designing wire harnesses, cable assemblies, or electrical interconnect systems.
  • Educational Background: Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in electrical engineering or a related field.
  • Wire Harness Design: Strong experience designing wiring harnesses for complex electromechanical or robotic systems.
  • Electrical Schematics and Documentation: Experience producing electrical drawings, harness documentation, wiring diagrams, and system-level electrical documentation.
  • Connector and Interconnect Knowledge: Familiarity with connector types, shielding strategies, grounding practices, and cable management techniques.
  • Electrical Integration Experience: Proven experience integrating sensors, computer hardware, power systems, and actuators in complex systems.
  • Testing and Troubleshooting: Hands-on experience diagnosing electrical integration issues using lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, and logic analyzers.
  • Electromechanical Systems Experience: Experience working with robotic, aerospace, automotive, or defense-related hardware systems.
