Technical Writer
Company Overview
Allen Control Systems (ACS) is a cutting-edge defense startup founded by two former Navy electrical engineers with a proven track record in robotics and software. We are developing a small, autonomous gun turret that employs advanced computer vision and control systems to precisely target and neutralize small drones and loitering munitions. Our innovative approach requires overcoming significant technical challenges, making this an exciting and dynamic environment for experienced professionals.
With an engineering-first culture, ACS values technical excellence and innovation. Backed by our foundersâ successful exits from two previous ventures acquired for a combined $180M in 2022, we are committed to ensuring that the groundbreaking technologies we develop have a real-world impact.
Position Overview:
We are seeking an experienced Technical Writer to develop, organize, and maintain comprehensive technical documentation for ACSâÂÂs autonomous counter-drone system. This role requires a strong ability to translate complex engineering concepts across robotics, computer vision, and embedded control systems into clear, accurate, and compliant publications that support operators, field users, and government customers.
What YouâÂÂll Do:
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 ACSâÂÂs 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.
