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

  • Electrical: Fabricate and terminate cables and wiring harnesses to drawing/spec, and solder and rework electronic components and assemblies.
  • Electrical: Perform functional testing, troubleshooting, and debugging of electrical and electronic circuits using standard test equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, and signal generators.
  • Mechanical: Assemble and disassemble robotic systems and subassemblies to access boards, mounting points, and other components for repair, rework, or upgrade.
  • Mechanical: Support basic mechanical integration and fit-up work alongside engineering as needed.
  • Site Support: Send and receive packages and shipments for the site, and help keep the office organized and running smoothly, supporting 5-10 engineers in the SW, EE and ME domains
  • Documentation: Read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and engineering drawings; maintain accurate documentation of testing, modifications, and repairs.

Job requirements

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in electronics assembly, cable/harness fabrication, soldering, and circuit troubleshooting preferred.
  • Comfortable with basic mechanical assembly and disassembly work — using hand tools, following mechanical drawings, and working with fasteners and hardware.
  • Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and mechanical/engineering drawings.
  • A true jack-of-all-trades mindset — this role blends electrical, mechanical, and light office-management responsibilities, and you'll need to move fluidly between them as the site's primary technical hire.
  • Strong organizational skills and follow-through, since you'll independently manage day-to-day site logistics (shipping/receiving, office upkeep) alongside technical work.
