Halter is transforming agriculture through precision livestock management technology. The company enables farmers and graziers to optimize grazing operations using innovative wireless systems and wearable devices, eliminating traditional constraints like quad bikes and fencing.
As an experienced RF Engineer, you will own the end-to-end design, optimization, and validation of all RF and antenna systems across Halter's product portfolio. This is a senior technical leadership role combining hands-on engineering with mentorship responsibilities.
Key responsibilities include:
- Lead design, simulation, prototyping, and validation of high-performance antennas and RF systems for wearable and infrastructure products
- Define system-level RF requirements and architecture in collaboration with firmware, systems, and mechanical teams
- Conduct electromagnetic simulation, impedance matching, antenna tuning, and over-the-air performance optimization
- Perform field testing and data analysis to validate designs in real-world farm environments
- Collaborate with manufacturing partners on design-for-manufacture and RF assembly testing, including international travel
- Own RF performance metrics, antenna validation processes, and compliance testing (EMC, regulatory)
- Mentor and develop other engineers in RF design principles and best practices
- Partner with global suppliers and test labs to deliver high-volume production-ready solutions
You bring proven expertise taking antenna systems from concept through high-volume production. Deep understanding of electromagnetic fundamentals, RF propagation, impedance matching, and PCB/integrated antenna design is essential. You have hands-on experience with RF simulation tools, test equipment (VNAs, spectrum analyzers, signal generators), and designing RF systems for IoT, wearable, or low-power wireless products (BLE, LoRa, GPS, Wi-Fi, sub-GHz, LTE). Strong analytical, documentation, and communication skills are required. You thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments, take ownership, and are willing to travel internationally to support manufacturing and validation.
