Job Description
About Halter 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, no dogs, no fences. Just a group of cattle walking at their own pace. People say it looks like magic. Our customers are revolutionizing grazing with Halter—changing lives and transforming an industry. Role Summary Own the end‑to‑end electrical design and validation of custom PCBs that power Halter's production fixtures and test systems. You'll work at the intersection of hardware design and manufacturing—ensuring the electronics our production and test teams rely on are robust, diagnosable, and built to last. What You’ll Do Design custom PCBs from schematic through layout, bring‑up, and production handover. Define and execute validation strategy for new and revised hardware (coverage, acceptance criteria, evidence packs). Partner with Machine Design, Test Software, and Production to ensure hardware meets line requirements. Lead root‑cause analysis for electrical failures in production and test hardware; own durable CAPA. Manage PCB fab and assembly relationships; drive DFM feedback and acceptance testing. What We’re Looking For Strong PCB design skills: mixed‑signal and power, schematic to layout. Hands‑on bring‑up and validation experience (oscilloscope, instruments, scripted test). Track record delivering reliable hardware in a production or test environment. Comfortable working across mechanical, software, and firmware boundaries. Nice to have Firmware/embedded experience: comfortable reading code, debugging hardware‑firmware interfaces. Mechanical CAD familiarity: enough to collaborate closely on fixture integration. EEO Statement 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. If you think you have what it takes but don’t necessarily tick every requirement on this job description, please still get in touch and apply to Halter. We’d love to chat to see if you’ll be an epic fit! #J-18808-Ljbffr
