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.

About the role
Join Halter’s Production Engineering team to help build and scale world-class hardware manufacturing. This internship spans manufacturing process improvements and mechanical tooling/fixture design — you may focus on one area or work across both depending on project needs.
This internship will run from mid-to-late November 2026 and end in February 2027. It will be onsite & full-time 40 hours a week over this period.
What you’ll do
Support day-to-day manufacturing problem-solving on the floor (assembly + test): observe, collect data, and help run trials.
Design and build small mechanical fixtures/jigs and line-side improvements (in CAD and hands-on).
Help develop and validate process changes (pre/post comparisons, simple DOEs when appropriate).
Create and update work instructions, visuals, and training materials to improve consistency.
Support root cause analysis (5-why / fishbone) and implement assigned corrective actions.
Partner with Production, Quality, Supply Chain, and R&D to close feedback loops quickly.
Maintain tidy change documentation: what changed, when, why, and links to ECNs/incidents.
What we’re looking for
You’re studying Mechanical / Mechatronics / Manufacturing Engineering (or similar).
You like getting hands-on and learning fast in a real production environment.
You can communicate clearly and take pride in tidy documentation.
Nice to have
Basic GD&T and tolerance awareness.
Any exposure to manufacturing/process engineering, quality, or test/automation.
Experience with basic scripting/data tools (Excel/Sheets, Python) for analysis.
