What does an associate software engineer do?

An Associate Software Engineer is an entry-level position responsible for assisting in the design, development, testing, and maintenance of software applications. They work closely under the supervision of more experienced engineers to write code, fix bugs, and contribute to software projects. This role typically involves learning company-specific technologies and best practices, collaborating with team members, and gradually taking on more complex tasks as skills develop.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an associate software engineer?

To thrive as an Associate Software Engineer, you need a solid understanding of programming languages (such as Java, Python, or C++), software development principles, and a relevant degree in computer science or a related field. Familiarity with development tools like Git, integrated development environments (IDEs), and issue tracking systems is typically required. Strong problem-solving abilities, teamwork, and effective communication help you collaborate and adapt in dynamic project environments. These skills and qualities are essential for delivering robust code, supporting team goals, and driving continuous improvement in software projects.

What are some common challenges faced by associate software engineers when transitioning from academic projects to real-world development teams?

Associate Software Engineers often find the transition to professional environments challenging due to differences in project scale, codebase complexity, and the need to follow established development processes. Unlike academic projects, real-world teams typically use version control systems, conduct code reviews, and adhere to specific coding standards. Collaborating with cross-functional teams, understanding business requirements, and managing tight deadlines are also new experiences. Embracing mentorship, asking questions, and being open to feedback can help ease this transition and support professional growth.

Job description

Company Overview
ACS (Allen Control Systems) is a defense technology company building precision robotic systems for the United States and its allies. Founded by two former U.S. Navy electrical engineers with deep experience in robotics and software, ACS brings together AI, computer vision, precision motion, and advanced hardware to solve complex defense challenges across land, air, and maritime environments.

Our flagship product, Bullfrog, is an autonomous precision weapon system that transforms existing weapons into highly accurate counter-drone systems — giving warfighters a scalable, cost-effective response to one of the fastest-growing threats on the modern battlefield. Bullfrog is deployed with U.S. forces, and ACS works with organizations throughout the U.S. military and national security community.

Following a $200 million Series B at a $2.2 billion valuation, ACS is rapidly expanding manufacturing, accelerating Bullfrog deployments, and developing the next generation of autonomous battlefield systems. This is an opportunity to join a proven, fast-moving team and help scale technology with direct, real-world impact on national security.

ACS is headquartered in Austin, Texas, with additional operations in Alexandria, Virginia; Mountain View, California; and Huntsville, Alabama. For more information, visit allencontrolsystems.com.

Position Overview:

We are seeking a Software Platform/Infrastructure Engineer to own the software that builds, provisions, updates, and manages our fleet of autonomous systems in the field. You will be responsible for the delivery of "robot factory software" — the imaging, deployment, and fleet-management layer that everything else ships on.

We’re hiring across multiple experience levels, including:

  • Associate Software Engineer.

  • Software Engineer.

  • Senior Software Engineer.

  • Staff Software Engineer.

  • Senior Staff Software Engineer.

Your title and level will be determined based on your experience, skills, and the scope of responsibility appropriate for the role.

What You'll Do:

  • Build and maintain Jetson imaging and provisioning pipelines for repeatable, reliable device bringup.

  • Develop the fleet agent and over-the-air (OTA) update system for safely updating software across deployed units.

  • Own system services, startup/bringup sequencing, and host-level configuration (systemd, networking, security hardening).

  • Work with Embedded Systems to define manufacturing ATP test and diagnostic hooks for the production line.

    What You'll Need:

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.

  • Strong proficiency in Python and shell; comfort reading/modifying C++ as needed (replaces the "strong C++ proficiency" line).

  • Deep Linux fundamentals: services, networking, filesystems, boot process, package management.

  • Hands-on experience with embedded Linux and/or single-board compute (NVIDIA Jetson, Raspberry Pi, etc.).

You'll Stand Out:

  • NVIDIA JetPack / L4T, Yocto, or embedded Linux build systems.

  • A/B OTA / robust update frameworks (Mender, RAUC, balena, or homegrown).

  • Infrastructure-as-code and fleet-management tooling.

  • Manufacturing test, ATP, or hardware bring-up / factory automation experience.

  • Observability stacks (Foxglove, Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry).

What We Offer:

  • Competitive salary

  • ACS Equity Package

  • Health, Dental, Vision Insurance

  • Paid Time Off
