The posting

Company Overview:

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. 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. 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. Backed by our founders' successful exits from two previous ventures acquired for a combined $180M in 2022, we are committed to ensuring that the groundbreaking technologies we develop will have a real-world impact.

About The Role:

We are looking for a Mechanical Drafter to support our engineering team in developing detailed mechanical drawings, 3D models, and documentation for our autonomous defense systems. This role will focus on creating and maintaining accurate design documentation, ensuring drawings meet manufacturing requirements, and supporting engineers throughout the product development process. You'll play an important role in translating engineering concepts into clear, manufacturable designs.

What You'll Do:

  • Create and revise detailed mechanical drawings, 3D models, and assemblies in SolidWorks for manufacturing.
  • Develop and maintain accurate drawing packages, BOMs, and part libraries.
  • Support mechanical engineers by converting design concepts into clear and precise technical drawings.
  • Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and embedded teams to ensure mechanical designs integrate properly with system components.
  • Assist with design revisions, prototyping efforts, and documentation updates during product development cycles.
  • Apply drafting standards, GD&T, and tolerancing practices to ensure manufacturable and production-ready designs.
  • Maintain organized documentation and ensure drawings follow internal engineering standards and revision control processes.
  • Work with fabrication and assembly teams to resolve design issues and support production.

What You'll Need:

  • Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Drafting, Mechanical Engineering Technology, Electrical Engineering Technology, or a related field.
  • 2+ years of experience drafting in a mechanical/electrical engineering environment.
  • Proficiency with SolidWorks for mechanical modeling and drafting.
  • Familiarity with GD&T, mechanical tolerancing, and drafting standards (ASME Y14.5).
  • Understanding of mechanical assemblies, fasteners, and electro-mechanical systems.
  • Ability to interpret engineering concepts and translate them into accurate technical drawings.
  • Excellent attention to detail and organizational skills.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment.

You'll Stand Out:

  • Experience supporting hardware development in defense, aerospace, robotics, or industrial equipment.
  • Hands-on experience supporting rapid prototyping or prototype builds.
  • Exposure to configuration management systems and PLM tools.
  • Experience with 3D printing or rapid prototyping technologies.
  • Prior work in a startup or high-velocity engineering team.

What We Offer:

  • Competitive salary
  • ACS Equity Package
  • Health, Dental, Vision Insurance
  • Paid Time Off

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
