About the Internship
At Halter, we’re building world-class virtual fencing technology that transforms the way farmers and ranchers work. We tackle complex, real-world problems with technical solutions, helping farmers lift productivity, care for their animals, and farm more sustainably.
We’re offering an internship for someone who’s keen to learn how our tech works in the real world. You’ll work with our Research & Development and Guidance Operations teams. You'll get experience testing new features, supporting farmers, analysing data, and learning how animals respond to our virtual fencing system.
This is a practical, hands-on role. You’ll be based on our R&D farm near Morrinsville, with occasional days in our Auckland HQ. You’ll be working with a bunch of great people who care about doing things well and getting results that matter.
For the right candidate, this internship will lead to a full-time role on one of our teams. Several of our current staff started right here.
What you'll be doing
- Learning how our collars work and how to use our internal tools
- Supporting farmers by helping answer questions and troubleshoot problems
- Running field tests and trials on new features
- Checking in on animal training progress and identifying any issues
- Digging into data to understand animal behaviour and system performance
- Working closely with engineers and product teams to improve what we build
- Visiting farms when hands-on support is needed
- Pitching in on whatever comes up, this job varies day to day
What we're looking for
- You’re studying (or recently finished studying) something related to ag, animal behaviour, data, engineering, or similar
- You understand farming and you’re keen to learn fast
- You enjoy solving problems and love to figure things out
- You’re organised and don’t let details slip
- You’re comfortable working on-farm, in gumboots and in the mud if you have to
- You’re a clear communicator and can talk to farmers in a straightforward no BS way
- You’re curious, reliable, and ready to get stuck in
Where You’ll Be
Most of your time will be at our R&D farm near Morrinsville. We’ve set up a proper workspace in an old calf barn. You’ll also head to our Auckland office occasionally to connect with other parts of the team.
