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.

Responsibilities

  • Design and Develop Wire Harness Systems: Create detailed wiring architectures, harness designs, and cable assemblies that support complex robotic and electromechanical systems.
  • Electrical Integration: Support system-level integration across sensors, computing systems, actuators, and power electronics to ensure reliable communication and power delivery throughout the platform.
  • Harness Documentation and Schematics: Develop wiring diagrams, pinout documentation, harness drawings, and electrical schematics to support both prototype and production systems.
  • Electromechanical Collaboration: Work closely with mechanical engineers to optimize harness routing, packaging, strain relief, and mechanical protection within compact system architectures.
  • Manufacturing Support: Work with technicians and manufacturing teams to support harness builds, documentation, and quality verification of cable assemblies.
  • Testing and Validation: Perform testing and validation of electrical harnesses and integrated systems to ensure reliability in field and lab environments.
  • Wire Harness Design: Strong experience designing wiring harnesses for complex electromechanical or robotic systems.

Requirements

  • Electrical Schematics and Documentation: Experience producing electrical drawings, harness documentation, wiring diagrams, and system-level electrical documentation.
  • Electrical Integration Experience: Proven experience integrating sensors, computer hardware, power systems, and actuators in complex systems.
  • Electromechanical Systems Experience: Experience working with robotic, aerospace, automotive, or defense-related hardware systems.
  • 2-5+ years of experience in electrical engineering with hands-on experience designing wire harnesses, cable assemblies, or electrical interconnect systems.
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in electrical engineering or a related field.
  • Familiarity with connector types, shielding strategies, grounding practices, and cable management techniques.

Benefits

  • 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.
  • Educational Background: Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in electrical engineering or a related field.
