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
- Own the full requirements management and verification process for complex autonomous systems, from requirement definition through verification closure.
- Derive system and subsystem requirements from first principles — reasoning up from mission objectives, physics, and operating constraints rather than inheriting or copying prior requirements — and express them as…
- Define verification strategies, methods, and pass/fail criteria before testing begins, and ensure each requirement has an explicit path to closure.
- Drive requirement decomposition, traceability, and alignment across mechanical, electrical, software, controls, and operations teams.
- Work closely with test and design engineers to ensure verification activities produce usable evidence and defensible engineering conclusions.
- Identify gaps in requirements, verification coverage, and technical ownership early, and drive cross-functional resolution before they become program risks.
- Review test results, engineering analyses, and system behavior to determine whether requirements have been satisfied or need refinement.
- Help structure design reviews, verification reviews, and technical decision-making around clear evidence rather than informal status.

- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering or a related technical field.
- We hire across levels, and experience expectations scale accordingly — from interns and new grads (relevant coursework, projects, or prior internships) through senior engineers (roughly 3+ years in systems engineering,…
- Experience deriving and writing clear, testable requirements from first principles — starting from mission needs, physics, and constraints — and defining practical verification approaches.
