Halter is a venture-backed agtech company transforming grazing management through autonomous livestock technology. The company enables farmers and graziers to run more productive and sustainable operations using innovative collars and supporting hardware that eliminate traditional constraints like quad bikes, dogs, and fencing.
You will own compliance and regulatory certification end-to-end as the company expands into multiple markets: NZ, Australia, USA, Canada, EU, UK, South America, and Africa. Reporting to the Head of Hardware, you'll be the single point of ownership for radio/wireless certification, EMC/EMI, product safety, and carrier certification across collars, towers, and supporting hardware.
Key responsibilities include:
- Developing and executing device testing and certification strategy across current and target markets, running certifications in parallel with development to prevent compliance from becoming a blocker
- Selecting and managing third-party test labs, certification bodies, and regulatory consultants, owning scope, cost, schedule, and quality
- Driving carrier certification end-to-end for cellular-connected products (PTCRB, GCF, direct carrier programs)
- Building in-house pre-compliance testing capability with test equipment and lab partnerships to accelerate design iterations
- Partnering with electronics, RF, firmware, and mechanical engineering teams during design phase to ensure first-time certification passes
- Maintaining compliance framework including standards matrix, certification register, technical files, and declarations of conformity
- Monitoring regulatory changes across markets and translating them into product and business impact
- Contributing to broader startup needs as required
You bring 8+ years of regulatory compliance and certification experience for wireless/electronic products across multiple international markets. You have deep knowledge of radio standards (FCC, ISED, RED, RCM), EMC/EMI, and product safety standards. Carrier certification experience is highly valued. You're commercially sharp in managing third-party relationships, hands-on with pre-compliance testing (spectrum analysis, failure design-out), and comfortable operating with full autonomy. You're a self-motivated problem solver willing to travel internationally 10-20% annually.
