Job Description
We’re developing a small autonomous gun turret that uses computer vision and
advanced control systems to precisely aim small arms (the M240, M4, or a
shotgun) to “snipe” small drones and loitering munitions out of the sky at
long range. There are obviously many technical challenges involved in this.
Allen Control Systems (ACS) is a defense startup by two ex-Navy electrical
engineers, who previously founded a robotics & software company which was
purchased for >$100M in 2022. Our company culture is engineering-first, but we
also have the business skills to ensure what you build will get used in the
world.
**You 're a good fit if:**
* You’ve been building things on your own since high school, and are interested in robotics.
* You’ve done electrical engineering projects on your own, either as a side project or your own business. (We’ll want to see what you’ve made.)
* You’ve designed a lot of printed circuit boards.
* You’ve done a lot of C programming of microcontrollers (ideally, ST microcontrollers).
* You’ve done a lot of Python programming.
**Job Description**
* Manage the gun turret engineering team and coordinate project schedules across multi-discipline engineering tasks
* Advance our gun turret prototype design already in progress: design PCBs, program microcontrollers, test our ability to control motors with the precision and speed required for the turret.
* Work alongside other experienced EEs, and mentor junior EEs.
* Eventually, harden the prototype turret into a military system, and help create larger/smaller variants for different weapon systems and engagement ranges, and possibly other robotics projects.
**Compensation and Benefits**
* A competitive salary and equity package, reflecting your skills and accomplishments.
* Full benefits spectrum, inclusive of health, dental, and vision insurance, complemented by generous paid time off.
