Job summary

Allen Control Systems in Austin, TX is offering a Summer 2027 internship focused on systems engineering for Bullfrog, our autonomous precision weapon system. You’ll work closely with engineers on definition, verification, and integration tasks to gain real-world experience.

Current students pursuing Systems, Aerospace, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering will contribute to modeling, simulations, and data analysis, with mentorship and hands-on ownership from day one.

Qualifications

• Pursuing a degree in Systems, Aerospace, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering.
• Coursework or projects in requirements definition, verification planning, or systems integration.
• Comfort with engineering analysis — modeling, simulation, or data analysis.
• A structured thinker curious about interfaces and assumptions between subsystems.

Responsibilities

• 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
