Auckland City, New Zealand Halter Full time

The future of food production hinges on an important question: How do we feed the world’s growing population without compromising our natural resources? Farmers feed our population and hold the keys to vital climate solutions. At Halter, we’re on a mission to enable farmers to run the most productive and sustainable farms. Farmers are using Halter to break free from the time-intensive constraints of conventional farming. They’re growing more grass, increasing milk production and improving the health and wellbeing of their cows.

We bridge deep tech into farming. Halter enables farmers to remotely shift, virtually fence and proactively monitor their cows’ health and behaviour. Can you imagine watching 500 dairy cows turn in unison and walk calmly towards the milking shed? No quad bikes, no dogs, no fences. Just a mob of cows walking at their own pace. People say it looks like magic. Our customers are revolutionizing farming with Halter. It's changing lives and transforming an industry.

People join Halter because they want to do meaningful work. By joining us you’ll be solving challenging problems within a talented team and a culture built for high performance. Our team out-think, out-work and out-care. We’re committed to delivering real change in the world - this isn’t easy, and in truth, we love that it’s hard. We’re backed to deliver on a mission that matters by Tier 1 investors including Bessemer Venture Partners, DCVC, Blackbird, Promus Ventures, Rocket Lab’s Peter Beck and Icehouse ventures.

**About the role**

Halter is looking for an experienced Senior Mechanical Engineer with a proven track record of designing and developing bulletproof products that must perform flawlessly in extreme environmental conditions. Our world-class mechanical engineers specialise in developing hardware where achieving the optimal fusion between ergonomics and functionality is essential to success. We constantly strive to utilise the latest rapid prototyping, testing and manufacturing technologies to push concepts through from conceptualisation to high-volume production.

**What your day could look like**:

- Rapid hands-on development delivering robust electro-mechanical products through to production.
- Design for Manufacture (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) woven into product development.
- Collaborating with external suppliers to optimise designs and streamline manufacturing processes.
- Working with and supporting other mechanical engineers, contributing to your teammates’ success, challenging the team to continuously test and improve, and encouraging collaboration.
- Maintaining high levels of communication with the broader hardware team regarding product requirements, integration, timelines, risks, and priorities.
- Staying up-to-date with your area of expertise and ensuring the team is aware of new technological advances and better ways of working.
- And finally, this is a start-up, so you’ll also be rolling your sleeves up and helping with whatever is required.

**Who we’re looking for**:

- A Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a similar field is highly desired.
- 5+ years of professional experience specifically working on robust consumer/commercial electronics hardware, with a deep understanding of system-level architecture and tradeoffs (mechanical, thermal, manufacturability, power, reliability, cost, etc.).
- Proven experience designing robust mechanical components and assemblies for mass production, specifically injection moulded parts.
- Expert in 3D CAD and 2D drafting, preferably using Solidworks.
- Outstanding understanding of the core mechanical and material fundamentals.
- Pragmatic and detail-orientated approach to the testing and validation of designs.
- A positive person, who seeks ownership and is a self-motivated problem solver.
- Interested and available to travel for 10-20% of the year.

**Why our team loves working at Halter**:

- A genuine and shared connection to our mission to make a difference in the world.
- The excitement, risk, and reward of a high-growth technology scale-up.
- The pride of joining an iconic New Zealand technology company growing successfully on the global stage.
- The opportunity to work with and grow together with an enthusiastic, and highly gifted team with diverse backgrounds.
- The opportunity to supercharge your career in a supportive and caring environment.
- Our ideas are truly valued, we are able to move fast, and our impact is real.
- State-of-the-art, dog-friendly office that’s been thoughtfully designed right in the heart of Auckland city. Did we mention dogs and cows?
- Delicious snacks and drinks are available for your daily flow.
- Healthy body, healthy mind. We’re partnered with Southern Cross Health Insurance to support your well-being.
- We offer 6 months of fully paid parental leave for primary caregivers, 4 weeks of fully paid secondary car
