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 have a real-world impact.

Position Overview

We are seeking a skilled Mechanical Technician to support the hands-on build, test, and iteration of prototype hardware at ACS. Working directly alongside our mechanical and electrical engineers, you will play a central role in the R&D process, helping bring early-stage designs to life, identifying failure modes, and feeding real-world findings back into the development cycle.

What You’ll Do

  • Build and integrate prototype mechanical assemblies from engineering drawings, CAD models, and work instructions, with an emphasis on speed-to-test and iterative refinement.
  • Conduct functional and performance testing on prototype hardware, collect data, and clearly document results to support engineering analysis and design decisions.
  • Troubleshoot mechanical failures and anomalies on prototype systems, identifying root causes and working with engineers to implement fixes quickly.
  • Operate hand tools, power tools, and basic shop equipment to fabricate, modify, or rework parts and assemblies as the design evolves.
  • Collaborate directly with mechanical and electrical engineers to provide hands-on feedback that improves design for assembly, reliability, and testability.
  • Maintain accurate records of build procedures, test results, modifications, and known issues to support the broader R&D team.
  • Uphold safety and quality standards in the lab and shop environment at all times.

What You’ll Need

  • 2+ years of experience in mechanical assembly, testing, or hands-on R&D support; we welcome all skill levels and provide full on-the-job training for motivated candidates.
  • Comfort working in a fast-paced prototype environment where designs change frequently and problem-solving on the fly is the norm.
  • Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and CAD models to guide hands-on build and assembly work.
  • Strong attention to detail and diagnostic skills, with a genuine curiosity for understanding how things work and why they fail.
  • Collaborative team player who communicates clearly with engineers and takes ownership of tasks from start to finish.

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary
  • ACS Equity Package
  • Health, Dental, and 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.
