Jobs at Allen Control Systems

Lead and scale a hands-on manufacturing safety program: develop policies, ensure OSHA compliance, perform hazard analyses (MIL-STD-882), oversee LOTO, laser, chemical, firearms and explosives safety, manage emergency response, training, incident reporting, and collaborate with engineering and leadership to mitigate risks.

Lead schematic, PCB and power/embedded circuit design for autonomous turret systems. Develop real-time embedded firmware in C++ and Python, run simulations (signal integrity, thermal, EMC), integrate electromechanical components, and perform lab/field testing to meet military-grade requirements.

Integrate, bring up, debug, and validate electrical, mechanical, and software subsystems for autonomous weapon platforms. Perform system bring-up and firmware/Linux debugging, use lab instrumentation to diagnose power and signal issues, develop and execute test procedures, support field testing, build test fixtures and automation, and collaborate with hardware and software engineers to improve reliability and validate hardware revisions.

Provide front-desk and administrative support to keep the office running: greet guests, manage mail/shipments/inventory, process invoices and receipts, coordinate vendors and facilities triage, and support onboarding and team events.

Coordinate engineering project schedules, track deliverables and risks, manage Agile workflows (Jira/Shortcut), maintain Gantt charts and roadmaps, implement scalable processes, and support SVP of Engineering with reporting and cross-functional communication.

Hiring across engineering, design, and related roles to develop an autonomous gun turret using computer vision, control systems, and robotics. Join a small, fast-growing team with direct leadership access and contribute to a high-impact defense product.

Design and develop schematics and PCBs, perform electrical simulations (SI, thermal, EMC), and build real-time embedded firmware in C++/Python for autonomous, military-grade turret systems. Integrate electromechanical components, lead testing and validation to meet rigorous standards, and optimize performance and power consumption.

Design, optimize, and validate manufacturing processes for robotic/electronics systems. Lead tooling and equipment integration, root cause analysis, SPC-driven improvements, FMEA and Gauge R&R studies, and KPI tracking. Collaborate with design, quality, operations, and suppliers to scale prototypes to production while implementing lean and Six Sigma continuous-improvement initiatives.

Design, develop, and optimize performance-critical C++/Python software for an autonomous gun turret. Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and vision teams, implement testing and CI/CD, debug and resolve defects, and ensure reliability, security, and scalability of embedded and high-performance systems.

Design and validate robust electromechanical systems for an autonomous gun turret. Perform kinematic and multibody dynamic analysis, structural/dynamic/modal/vibration/thermal simulations, and MIL-STD-810–grade testing. Integrate mechanical and electrical components, create detailed drawings and test protocols, support prototyping and manufacturing, and contribute to cross-functional design reviews to ensure durability, reliability, and manufacturability.

Build and maintain scalable image/video data pipelines and curation strategies to optimize datasets for computer vision model training. Implement ingestion, synthetic-data workflows, QA, dataset versioning, metadata/cataloging, labeling coordination, and data-quality tooling to maximize model performance.

Lead a multidisciplinary engineering team across firmware, software, electrical, and mechanical domains. Provide technical direction on architecture, system integration, testing, and validation for an autonomous defense turret. Manage execution from concept through deployment, establish engineering processes and documentation, and collaborate with product, operations, and leadership to deliver mission-critical, military-grade systems on schedule.

Design and develop schematics and PCBs, perform electrical simulations and testing (signal integrity, thermal, EMC), develop real-time embedded software in C++/Python, integrate electromechanical systems, validate designs to military standards, and optimize performance and power for autonomous turret robotics systems.

Design, implement, and validate motor and motion control systems for real-time autonomous platforms. Build simulation and test tools, integrate controls with embedded hardware and vision systems, tune and field-test control algorithms, document strategies, and improve system performance using control theory and state estimation.

Design, build, and operate CV/ML infrastructure: manage 130+ GPU bare-metal Kubernetes cluster with AWS burst, own CI/CD for ML, enable model/versioning, experiment tracking, testing, performance analysis, and optimize models for edge deployment (Jetson).

Provide on-site technical subject-matter support for ACS robotic systems at domestic and international events. Troubleshoot mechanical, electrical, and software issues, work with engineering to resolve problems, maintain network connectivity (wired and mesh), perform basic Linux CLI tasks, and ensure mission readiness for operators and program managers.

Design and develop schematics and PCBs, implement real-time embedded software (C++/Python), run simulations (signal integrity, thermal, EMC), integrate electromechanical systems, test and validate hardware/software to military standards, and optimize performance and power.

Design, implement, and optimize real-time computer vision and machine learning models for an autonomous anti-drone turret. Integrate algorithms with embedded hardware, collaborate with electrical engineers, and test/validate performance across environments while hardening prototypes into military-grade systems.

Develop and maintain Linux kernel drivers and embedded Linux configurations for NVIDIA Jetson platforms. Integrate and optimize drivers for PCIe, FPGA, Ethernet, USB, and MIPI cameras; debug low-level system issues; collaborate with hardware and computer vision teams; and document driver implementations and hardware interfaces.

Ensure incoming materials and components meet company quality standards by auditing and qualifying suppliers, driving APQP/PPAP, leading RCCA for supplier defects, reporting supplier performance (DPMO/COPQ), reviewing ECO impacts, and providing on-site technical support to resolve production-critical supply issues.
