Systems Engineering Intern, 2027

Allen Control Systems is a defense technology company developing precision robotic and autonomous systems for the United States and its allies. The Systems Engineering Intern will support requirements definition, systems integration, verification planning, testing, and engineering analysis for the Bullfrog counter-drone system.

What you'll do:

• Turning high-level mission requirements for Bullfrog into clear, testable specs — and helping define how we'll prove they're actually met
• Systems integration across mechanical, electrical, software, and controls — tracing how a requirement in one subsystem shows up as a constraint in another
• Verification planning and test support — helping design test approaches and reviewing results to see whether a requirement was genuinely satisfied
• Engineering analysis: modeling, simulation, or margin/budget analysis that grounds a requirement or trade-off in real numbers instead of a guess

What they're looking for:

• Currently pursuing a degree in Systems Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
• Coursework or project experience in requirements definition, verification planning, or systems integration (senior design projects count)
• Comfortable with engineering analysis — modeling, simulation, or data analysis to back up a technical decision
• A structured thinker who's curious about how interfaces and assumptions between subsystems can create downstream problems

Benefits:

• ACS Equity Package
• Health, Dental, Vision Insurance
• Paid Time Off
• Mentorship from engineers who've designed and fielded real defense systems
