Systems Reliability Engineer - All Levels
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
- Define system-level reliability goals, risk-based verification priorities, and failure-focused evaluation criteria for autonomous weapon platforms — reasoning from first principles (physics of failure and the operating…
- Identify reliability-critical tests, stress cases, and operating conditions needed to expose failure modes before fielding.
- Analyze test and field data to identify failure modes, performance limits, degradation patterns, and reliability risks, and translate results into clear technical conclusions and recommended actions.
- Lead structured root-cause investigations for reliability failures across electrical, mechanical, software, and controls interfaces.
- Develop methods for reliability trending, failure categorization, and corrective-action tracking so the team can measure reliability growth over time.
- Support requirements verification by ensuring reliability risks, failure criteria, and hazard-informed concerns are reflected in system requirements and verification methods.
- Work with systems, mechanical, electrical, and software engineers to improve design robustness, observability, maintainability, and failure tolerance.
- Help define corrective actions, retest plans, and closure criteria for reliability-related issues.
