Waikato, 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**

Looking to do something that has not been done before? Wanting to work with cutting edge technology? This role is not a traditional R&D role as we are pioneering the future of farming. This role is all about concise test plans, fieldwork and innovative thinking

You will be a part of our multidisciplinary research & development team composed of engineers, farmers, and everything in between. Our days never look the same; we find ourselves doing anything from wearing gumboots and working with the cows to sitting in our on-farm base working on the next big endeavour. We focus on designing and developing new features that our customers will be using in the day-to-day running of their farm using Halter.

We believe that team culture is vital for our success as a team and as a company and as a result work hard to maintain a fun and casual atmosphere in which you can thrive and develop. From the first day you join, you'll be able to have a direct impact on what our product looks like and how farmers use it. Your point of view, support and input will be vital to the success of Halter. You will be heavily involved in all the tests we run; from the designing phase all the way through the testing and interpreting of data.

**What your day could look like**:

- Designing, executing and leading research projects to enable continuous innovation and improvement of our product
- Writing concise test plans and getting out on the farm ASAP Get your hands dirty and work with cows to understand their behaviour, its functionality and then merge this with your solid understanding of our collar to come up with completely new findings.
- Drawing data-based analysis, results, and learnings from research and experiments to provide input into the design and production of our products
- Testing new and improved product features to achieve smooth deployment at our customer farms
- Assisting in the further development in the way we train cows to understand our collar
- Working cross-functionally with teams across the company: From Engineering to provide input into new and existing product features; to Customer Success to ensure our products are meeting and exceeding our customers’ expectations
- A wide array of farm jobs. Helping with day to day farm maintenance and activities

**What we’re looking for**:

- Someone who has either in-depth farming experience/background, animal (esp COWS) training or an agriculture qualification. Ideally, you’ll also be tech-savvy and you’re not afraid of learning the tech side and functionality of our product.
- A person who is comfortable with ambiguity and thrives in a fast-paced environment
- You enjoy working hard and want to be a part of a team that does the same
- A team-oriented individual, you love sharing ideas and giving and receiving feedback
