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.
About the Role
Allen Control Systems (ACS) is seeking an experienced Machine Shop Manager to lead and scale our machining operations in support of rapidly growing manufacturing needs. This role will be responsible for the day-to-day leadership of the machine shop, including people, equipment, production schedules, quality, safety, and continuous improvement.
The ideal candidate is a hands-on manufacturing leader with strong CNC machining experience who can balance production execution with building the processes, systems, and team required for a high-growth manufacturing environment. You will work closely with Manufacturing, Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, and Production teams to ensure machined components are delivered safely, accurately, and on schedule.
What You'll Do
Machine Shop Leadership
