Allen Control Systems · Austin, TX · 4 days ago
On-siteEngineering$200/hrFull-time
About the Role
Our interns aren't fetching coffee or shadowing — they're working alongside the same engineers building the systems we ship. This is early-career work with real stakes.
Location & Duration
Austin, TX (on-site) · Summer 2027 (~10-12 wks) · Paid internship
What You Could Work On
- Electrical systems that power and connect sensors, computers, and actuators on an autonomous weapon system
- Circuit design, wire harness and interconnect work, and embedded hardware bring-up
- Power distribution and signal integrity for a system that has to work reliably in the field, not just on a bench
- Hands-on lab work: oscilloscopes, multimeters, and debugging real hardware, not just simulations
(We're keeping this general on purpose — exact projects depend on where things stand next summer, but this is the flavor of work you'd be doing.)
What We're Looking For
- Currently pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field
- Coursework or project experience in circuit design, embedded systems, or hardware integration
- Comfortable in a lab environment with real test equipment
- Excited to see your work physically integrated into hardware that actually ships
Why ACS
- Direct impact: your work ships on hardware being fielded to protect real people — not stuck in a slide deck.
- Real ownership: no red tape. You'll work directly with the engineers building Bullfrog, from day one.
- Small team, big scope: at a startup this size, interns take on real problems, not busywork.
- Mentorship from engineers who've designed and fielded real defense systems.
What We Offer
- Competitive pay
- ACS Equity Package
- Health, Dental, Vision Insurance
- Paid Time Off
