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. It's changing lives and transforming an industry. People join Halter 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 Founders Fund, Bessemer Venture Partners, BOND, DCVC, Blackbird, Promus Ventures, Rocket Lab’s Peter Beck and Icehouse ventures.

This is a brand new function at Halter, created because we plan on moving faster and doing more. We’re doubling down on our hardware talent and strategic advantage.
We're scaling into multiple hardware products in parallel. The people designing, testing and building them are brilliant. The Hardware Delivery Lead's job is to bring those people together, keep them aligned, and make sure they can spend as much time as possible doing the deep technical work instead of navigating coordination overhead.
You won't make the technical or product decisions. But you'll make sure the right people are in the room to make them quickly. You'll strip away unnecessary process and overhead, while making sure every team and every individual gets exactly what they need to move fast and do great work. You'll build the relationships, create the clarity, and drive the rhythm that turns talented, cross-functional teams into a single fast-moving effort.
You’ll be measured on delivery.
Coordinate delivery across multiple hardware programmes, working across hardware design, firmware, reliability, networking, NPI, production and supply chain teams.
Build and maintain strong relationships across every discipline. Understand each team's constraints and dependencies well enough to anticipate problems and bring the right people together before things slow down.
Design a lightweight delivery cadence that keeps complex programmes on track. You'll ruthlessly cut process that doesn't earn its place and replace it with the minimum structure each team actually needs to stay unblocked and informed.
Drive clarity for everyone. Make sure individuals know what matters this week, teams know what's on the critical path, and the wider business is up-to-date. You’ll report directly to Exec.
Surface trade-offs early and cleanly so decision-makers can move fast.
Absorb coordination complexity so that technical teams stay focused on what they do best.
Shape how we deliver hardware at Halter as the company scales.
Strong experience driving complex hardware products from development through to production, ideally across multiple programmes simultaneously.
A track record of cross-functional collaboration in environments where you don't own the teams but you own the delivery. You lead through influence, trust, and relationships.
Enough fluency in hardware development (prototyping, tooling, test, NPI, manufacturing) to ask the right questions, spot real risks, and know who needs to be in the conversation.
Exceptional communication. You can translate a complex technical trade-off into a crisp executive update, and translate a strategic priority into a clear next step for an engineering team.
A bias for speed and a hatred of unnecessary overhead. You're energised by pressure, allergic to process for the sake of process, and would rather move fast and course-correct than wait for perfect information.
Genuine relationship-building ability. People across the organisation trust you, seek you out, and feel like you make their work easier.
Low ego and comfortable with discomfort. You lean into hard conversations, raise the awkward thing early, and never shy away from tension when it needs to be resolved. You have strong opinions and a desire to solve all kinds of problems, but you hold those opinions loosely and change your mind fast when someone has a better answer.
You're fun and a joy to work with. Hardware delivery is intense. You bring energy, humour, and optimism, and people are better for having you around.
There’s a reason you visit your friends in person, live with your family and don’t do dinners over Zoom. Humans are wired for connection. We believe a world-class, in-person office culture is the best way for high-performing teams.
Being office first is a core pillar of our culture. We believe in-person connections are key to driving your own growth, learning, impact, and building genuine long-lasting relationships. Strong relationships make it easier to disagree, give feedback, and do meaningful and aligned work. We don’t like having heaps of rules or policies, but this means having strong, trusted relationships is critical.
We’re office first, not office only. This means working from the office everyday is our default setting, but we flex when we need to. We have a high-trust culture, so everyone is trusted to do what’s best for Halter.
Our office vibe is something special, it’s hard to describe until you’re here, but people at Halter who have come from fully remote or hybrid companies say they could never go back - the high energy and spectacular people they are now surrounded by everyday makes work so enjoyable. Your growth, your learning and your impact is truly unlimited here, and a big part of that comes from being together solving problems, innovating, building context, and constantly learning from each other.
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 groups of candidates tend to only apply when they meet every requirement. 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!
