Allen Control Systems (ACS) is a robotics defense company purpose-built to deliver advanced robotic capabilities to fill modernization demands across the defense industry and national security communities. They have developed proprietary advanced hardware and software robotic weapon stations, powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning, that enable any legacy or modern weapon system to achieve precise aiming and impact. Headquartered in Austin, TX, with an office in Alexandria, VA, ACS specializes in mechanical engineering, manufacturing, signal processing, robotics, electrical engineering, machine learning, industrial design, computer vision, and fire control.

📋 Description

• Work directly with ACS engineers and founders to gather and document technical information on the autonomous turret platform, including computer vision systems, control systems, robotics hardware, and embedded software. • Create and maintain operator manuals, user guides, system integration documents, maintenance procedures, and safety documentation for ACS’s counter-drone system. • Develop government-facing technical deliverables compliant with applicable DoD and MIL-SPEC standards (e.g., MIL-STD-40051, S1000D, or applicable Technical Orders). • Collaborate with mechanical and electrical engineers to document hardware assembly, wiring, and maintenance procedures for the autonomous turret platform. • Support proposal efforts and contract deliverables by producing technical narratives, SOWs, and program documentation for government customers. • Manage document version control and maintain consistency across all publication types as the ACS product evolves rapidly. • Prepare and submit documentation deliverables to government agencies and program offices, ensuring compliance with contractual requirements and review timelines.

• 3-7 years of experience in technical writing, with at least some focus on defense, aerospace, robotics, or hardware systems. • Start-up exposure: comfortable working in a fast-moving environment with limited process and high autonomy. • Familiarity with DoD documentation standards, ITAR compliance requirements, and MIL-SPEC writing guidelines (e.g., MIL-STD-40051, S1000D). • Experience managing technical illustrations, system diagrams, and schematics within documentation for complex hardware or electromechanical systems. • Proficiency in documentation tools (Adobe FrameMaker, MS Office Suite, Confluence, XML editors). • Excellent attention to detail, organizational skills, and ability to manage multiple deliverables in a fast-paced environment.
