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 an autonomous gun turret using advanced computer vision and control systems to precisely detect, track, and neutralize enemy drones.

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.

About The Role

We are looking for an HR Business Partner - Mission Operations to serve as the primary HR partner for these teams across distributed locations.

  • Handle employee relations including coaching, conflict resolution, performance management, and retention; support onboarding of new team members; manage compliance with company policies, employment law, and regulatory requirements.
  • Partner with recruiting on staffing plans, position descriptions, interview processes, and offer negotiations; coach managers on performance conversations, feedback, and team development; support career development and succession planning for field roles.
  • Coordinate HR logistics for field deployments; support development of deployment agreements and travel policies; partner on safety incident reporting and post-incident HR follow-up; help translate compliance requirements into HR processes and documentation.
  • Design HR processes tailored to field operations; create checklists, playbooks, and training materials for field managers; partner cross-functionally with Operations, Contracts, and Finance on people strategies, compliance requirements, and deployment planning.
What You'll Need
  • 5-7+ years of HR Business Partner experience in a professional or operational setting.
  • Strong understanding of HR compliance, employment law, and HR best practices; demonstrated ability to build trust and maintain relationships with remote or distributed teams.
  • Strong employee relations, coaching, and communication skills; experience across recruiting, onboarding, performance management, and compensation.
  • Ability to manage multiple relationships and priorities simultaneously; strong process orientation and ability to document processes clearly; BA/BS in HR or related field, PHR/SPHR certification, or equivalent experience.
You'll Stand Out
  • Background in government contracting, defense, or military environments.
  • Experience with travel support, employee logistics, or operations coordination for distributed or field-based teams.
  • Safety or occupational health knowledge; experience in field operations or mission-critical environments.
  • International assignment or expatriate employee experience; SHRM membership or HR certification.
What We Offer
  • Competitive salary
