- Collaborate with product managers, software engineers, and other stakeholders to understand user needs and translate them into thoughtful design solutions.
- Design for real-time systems where responsiveness, clarity, and reliability matter.
- Explore interaction patterns for touchscreens, gamepads/controllers, and other input methods.
- Help establish and maintain consistent UI patterns and design systems across applications.
- Participate in user feedback, usability testing, and iterative design reviews.
- Communicate design decisions clearly and incorporate feedback from both technical and non-technical teammates.
What We're Looking For
- Currently pursuing a degree in UI Design, Human-Computer Interaction, Interaction Design, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
- Coursework, project, or internship experience in UI/UX design, interaction design, product design, or Android mobile development.
- A portfolio or examples of work demonstrating your approach to solving user problems through design. This can include class projects, personal projects, apps, prototypes, or previous internships.
- An interest in designing interfaces for technical, real-time, or complex systems.
- Strong attention to detail and an instinct for creating simple, intuitive user experiences.
- Curiosity about how software is built and a willingness to work closely with engineers.
- Basic understanding of software development concepts and how UI connects to application logic.
- A builder's mindset: you'd rather create something, get feedback, and iterate than wait for a perfect spec.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to explain the thinking behind your design decisions.
You'll Stand Out
- Experience designing interfaces for mobile, tablet, embedded, or real-time applications.
- Experience with Android, Jetpack Compose, Kotlin, or other mobile development technologies.
- Experience designing for game-like interactions, simulations, controllers, or other non-traditional input methods.
- Experience collaborating directly with software engineers to implement designs.
- Interest in embedded systems, robotics, autonomy, or other technically complex products.

- Mentorship: Learn from experienced engineers and product builders who have designed and fielded real defense systems.
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.
ACS is headquartered in Austin, Texas, with additional operations in Alexandria, Virginia; Mountain View, California; and Huntsville, Alabama.
Our interns aren't fetching coffee or shadowing - they're working alongside the same engineers and product teams building the systems we ship. As an Android Developer Intern, you'll help design and improve the interfaces that connect people with real-time technology, from mobile and embedded applications to internal tools used by our engineering and operations teams.
This is early-career work with real stakes. You'll work closely with engineers, product managers, and other designers to turn complex technical systems into interfaces that are intuitive, responsive, and built for the people who use them.
