About the role

Allen Control Systems (ACS) is a cutting-edge defense startup, founded by two former Navy electrical engineers with a proven track record in robotics and software.
Our innovative approach requires overcoming significant technical challenges, making this an exciting and dynamic environment for experienced engineers.
With an engineering-first culture, ACS values technical excellence and innovation.

Design and develop mechanical systems that meet MIL-STD-810 specifications, ensuring robustness under vibration, shock, thermal, and environmental conditions.
Perform kinematic and multibody dynamic analysis to predict motion profiles, joint loads, torque requirements, and system stability in robotic and electromechanical assemblies.
Perform mechanical simulations (structural, dynamic, modal, vibration, thermal) to assess the durability and reliability of designs under operational stress.
Collaborate with electrical and systems engineers to integrate electromechanical components, ensuring seamless interaction between mechanical structures and electrical systems.
Develop and document mechanical design specifications, including detailed drawings, simulation reports, and testing protocols.
Support prototype development and work closely with manufacturing teams to ensure designs are feasible and cost-effective.
Maintain a strong focus on product quality, safety, and reliability, adhering to Design for Manufacturing and Design for Reliability best practices.
Contribute to cross-functional design reviews, identifying potential mechanical and electromechanical risks early in the development cycle.

5+ years of experience in mechanical design, including expertise in electromechanical integration.
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
Strong understanding of MIL-STD-810 requirements for mechanical durability, including vibration, shock, temperature, and humidity testing.
Conduct testing and validation to ensure that mechanical designs meet the required performance and safety standards.

We are developing a small, autonomous gun turret that employs advanced computer vision and control systems to precisely target and neutralize small drones and loitering munitions.
Advanced experience in robot dynamics, such as flexible multibody dynamics, dynamic simulations of compliant mechanisms, or vibration control in robotic arms and gantries

We are looking for a highly experienced Mechanical Designer with strong expertise in dynamic mechanical systems and electromechanical integration.
