Position Overview We are seeking a skilled Mechanical Technician to support the hands-on build, test, and iteration of prototype hardware at ACS.
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.

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.
