Device Performance Engineer

At Halter, we’re on a mission to enable farmers and graziers to run the most productive and sustainable operations. Our customers are using Halter to break free from the time-intensive constraints of conventional practices. Imagine watching 500 cattle stand up and walk calmly towards their next break? No quad bikes,...

We’re backed to deliver on a mission that matters by Tier 1 investors including Founders Fund, Bessemer Venture Partners, BOND, DCVC, Blackbird, Promus Ventures, Rocket Lab’s Peter Beck and Icehouse ventures.

Deep curiosity about how things actually work, and the patience to dig until you genuinely understand it.
Genuine first-principles thinking. You default to reasoning about a system from how it actually works physically, rather than pattern-matching to what usually works.
A bias to ownership and follow-through. You're not satisfied with an interesting finding; you want to see it become a real improvement in the fleet.
An engineering science, physics, or similarly quantitative technical background, with a track record of applying it to real, messy, physical-world problems.
Strong data analysis skills; comfortable working with large real-world datasets in Python or similar, including cleaning, filtering and validating noisy data before trusting any conclusion drawn from it.
Strong communication skills, able to explain technical findings clearly to engineers across disciplines and get people aligned on what to do about it.
Genuine curiosity about farming, animal welfare, or hardware that has to survive outdoors, unattended, on a live animal. We can teach the domain, but the curiosity has to be there already.
Experience in statistics, or applied maths.
Experience working on optimisation problems, not just analysing from the outside.
Halter is committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive workplace, a place where we can each be ourselves and do the best work of our lives. Research shows that while men apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of the requirements, women and under-represented candidates tend to only apply when they meet every single one. If you think you've got what it takes but don't tick every box here, get in touch anyway. We'd love to chat and see if you'll be an epic fit.
