Product Development Specialist - Halter
About the role
Halter is a dynamic fast paced workplace where our Animal team is working on Halter’s market-leading virtual fencing technology. We are transforming the agriculture industry globally, and you can be a part of that!
We are looking for a Research & Development Specialist to join our virtual fencing team that is continuously developing our virtual fencing product. Everything you need to know to nail this role you’ll learn on the job and you’ll have to work hard to keep up. In this role you’ll be supported to become an expert in virtual fencing and from there, it is up to you. This role is primarily based in the Waikato on our R&D farm close to Morrinsville, where we’ve built our own office in an old calf barn, but you’ll also spend plenty of time in our HQ in Auckland.
The on-farm Research & Development crew has been around as long as Halter and had a huge impact on Halter’s journey; from developing the original Cowgorithm™ to Halter’s expansion into the beef industry, Tasmania and the US. We’re only just getting started, so we are looking for someone who is eager to get stuck in and join this unique team.
What does this role do?
As you start to become familiar with the basics of our product, you’ll be providing support to all Halter farmers and ranchers around the world. We’ll teach you how to use our internal tools to analyse all the data our collars generate and you’ll be testing and validating new versions of our software on our R&D farm.
As your understanding of our product increases you’ll be working closely with talented engineers to design and develop new features and functionalities. Most of our R&D starts with some crazy idea that we work out on a whiteboard. You’ll be testing and validating the first prototype and will be supporting the implementation of the product.
Once you know all the intricacies of our system you’ll be independently running trials, visiting Halter farms when they require on-the-ground support and could play a role in our international expansion if you’re up for it.
*This role is also known as Research & Development Specialist and Agritech Development Specialist. We're open to what your job title will be!
