Supply Chain Manager

Allen Control Systems

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 engineers.

With an engineering-first culture, ACS values technical excellence and innovation. Backed by our founders' successful exits from two previous ventures acquired for a combined $180M in 2022, we are committed to ensuring that the groundbreaking technologies we develop will have a real-world impact.

Position Overview

We are seeking a highly driven Supply Chain Manager to build and scale our supply chain operations from the ground up. This role will be responsible for sourcing, procurement, supplier management, and logistics across a complex, regulated environment. You will work cross-functionally with engineering, manufacturing, and program teams to ensure timely and cost-effective delivery of critical components.


This is a high-impact role ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguity, moves quickly, and understands the unique challenges of defense procurement.


What You'll Do:

Supplier Sourcing & Management

  • Identify, qualify, and onboard suppliers for mechanical, electrical, and electronic components
  • Develop and maintain strong supplier relationships, including negotiating pricing, lead times, and terms
  • Monitor supplier performance (quality, delivery, cost) and drive continuous improvement
Procurement & Planning
  • Own the end-to-end procurement process (RFQs, POs, contract negotiations)
  • Collaborate with engineering and production to forecast demand and manage inventory levels
  • Mitigate supply risks and ensure continuity of critical materials
Defense Compliance & Regulations
  • Ensure compliance with ITAR, EAR, DFARS, and other applicable regulations
  • Maintain proper documentation and traceability for defense-related components
Logistics & Operations
  • Oversee inbound and outbound logistics, including domestic and international shipments
  • Optimize shipping strategies to balance cost, speed, and security
  • Implement systems and processes to scale operations
Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Partner with engineering on BOM optimization and design-for-supply-chain
  • Support manufacturing with production readiness and material availability
  • Work with finance on cost tracking and budgeting
What You'll Need:
  • 8+ years of experience in supply chain, procurement, or operations (defense, aerospace, or hardware startup preferred)
  • Strong understanding of defense regulations (ITAR/EAR/DFARS)
  • Experience sourcing complex components (electronics, machined parts, etc.)
  • Proven ability to negotiate with suppliers and manage contracts
  • Familiarity with ERP/MRP systems
  • Ability to operate in a fast-paced, ambiguous startup environment
What We Offer:
  • Competitive salary
  • ACS Equity Package
  • Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance
  • Paid Time Off
