You Will

  • Own the design and development of electrical systems and subsystems for HaloBraid, through pilot builds and production.
  • Design, prototype, and validate electronics, including circuit design, schematic capture, PCB layout, board bring-up, and debugging.
  • Develop and integrate sensing, motor control, power distribution, and other electronics for a complex electromechanical system.
  • Collaborate closely with mechanical, firmware, and systems engineers to make architecture decisions and resolve integration challenges.
  • Build rigorous test and validation processes, using experiments and data to evaluate performance, reliability, and design tradeoffs.
  • Design for manufacturability, cost, reliability, and safety, supporting supplier engagement, pilot builds, and production handoff.
  • Troubleshoot complex hardware issues, identify root causes, and drive solutions from prototype through production.

You Have

  • 5+ years of experience designing and developing electronics for physical products, ideally with experience bringing products into production.
  • Strong fundamentals in analog and digital circuit design, PCB layout, board bring-up, and hardware debugging.
  • Experience designing electronics for electromechanical systems, including sensors, actuators, motors, and embedded controllers.
  • Proficiency with electrical design tools and hands-on lab equipment, including oscilloscopes, multimeters, and logic analyzers.
  • A track record of owning electrical designs from initial concept through prototyping, validation, and production readiness.
  • Strong system-level judgment and the ability to evaluate tradeoffs across electrical, mechanical, firmware, cost, and reliability requirements.
  • A rigorous approach to experimentation, troubleshooting, and data-driven decision-making.
  • Comfort working in a fast-moving hardware environment where designs evolve through testing and iteration.

Desired Skills & Experience

  • Experience with motor control, motion systems, or precision robotics.
  • Experience with embedded firmware development in C/C++ and microcontroller interfaces.
  • Familiarity with signal processing, feedback control systems, or sensor integration.
  • Experience with EMC/EMI, electrical safety, and product certification.
  • Experience with DFM/DFT, PCB assembly, contract manufacturers, and production test development.
  • Experience developing consumer electronics or other compact, high-reliability electromechanical products.
  • Experience mentoring engineers or helping establish electrical engineering best practices.

Working Style

  • User-centric. You want to build things people actually use and love.
  • Low ego, adaptable, collaborative.
  • A fast, honest iterator. You learn through testing and user feedback, and you follow through on what you suggest.
  • Driven by the mission. A hard, unsolved robotics problem that gives millions of people their time back is your idea of a good challenge.

About Halo

Halo is a technology company building the future of haircare for all textures. We create category-defining products built for the complexities others overlook.

We're building HaloBraid, the world's first braid-assist device. It helps stylists finish braids five times faster, flawlessly and gently. This is one of the hardest unsolved problems in robotics, applied to a $270B salon services industry, and integrating computer vision, compliant fiber manipulation, and novel mechanisms.

Billions of hours are spent braiding hair each year; HaloBraid gives that time back. We're moving from R&D into deployment with salons, and we're backed by leading investors.
