<p><strong>Company Overview&nbsp;</strong></p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p><strong>Position Overview</strong></p> <p><span class="TextRun SCXW187686127 BCX0" lang="EN-US" data-contrast="auto"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW187686127 BCX0"><span class="TextRun SCXW204938643 BCX0" lang="EN-US" data-contrast="auto"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW204938643 BCX0"><span class="TextRun SCXW42232551 BCX0" lang="EN-US" data-contrast="auto"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW42232551 BCX0">As a <strong>Production&nbsp;</strong></span><strong><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW42232551 BCX0">Planner</span></strong><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW42232551 BCX0">, you will manage the flow of all materials and components through the business.
