Cybersecurity Engineer

Company Overview_
ACS (Allen Control Systems) is a defense technology company building precision robotic systems for the United States and its allies. Founded by two former U.S. Navy electrical engineers with deep experience in robotics and software, ACS brings together AI, computer vision, precision motion, and advanced hardware to solve complex defense challenges across land, air, and maritime environments._

Our flagship product, Bullfrog, is an autonomous precision weapon system that transforms existing weapons into highly accurate counter-drone systems — giving warfighters a scalable, cost-effective response to one of the fastest-growing threats on the modern battlefield. Bullfrog is deployed with U.S. forces, and ACS works with organizations throughout the U.S. military and national security community.

Following a $200 million Series B at a $2.2 billion valuation, ACS is rapidly expanding manufacturing, accelerating Bullfrog deployments, and developing the next generation of autonomous battlefield systems. This is an opportunity to join a proven, fast-moving team and help scale technology with direct, real-world impact on national security.

Position Overview:

We are seeking an experienced Cybersecurity Engineer to build and operate our detection and security monitoring capability on the CrowdStrike Falcon platform. This engineer will own the onboarding of new log sources, the authoring and tuning of detection content, and the day-to-day security telemetry that keeps a fast-moving defense engineering organization protected. Working closely with IT and engineering, this individual will translate raw log data into reliable, low-noise detections and help the company mature toward a defensible, compliance-ready security posture. The ideal candidate is comfortable operating independently, thinks like both a defender and an attacker, and can turn ambiguous telemetry into actionable detection logic.

What You’ll Do:

• Implement, configure, and operate CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM as the organization’s core detection and monitoring platform.

• Author, tune, and maintain CQL searches, correlation rules, and dashboards to support detection and investigation.

• Onboard new log sources, including connectors, data pipelines, and third-party source integrations.
