About the Company


Halo X Labs is building the HALO Chip, the world's first self-powered, subdermal GPS microchip for pets. We're early-stage, currently raising a $1.5M pre-seed round, and looking for a founding Hardware/Electrical Engineer to validate and mature our existing device design.


About the Role


As our founding Hardware/Electrical Engineer, you'll take our existing HALO Chip design from prototype to production-ready, working hands-on with real-world testing and directly with our manufacturing partner to make sure the device performs reliably at scale. This is a build-from-zero, founding-team role with no existing playbook, you'll be the technical owner of everything on the physical hardware side, with real equity and real decision-making stake in the company from day one.


Responsibilities


Validate the current HALO Chip design (energy harvester, microbattery, GPS/LoRa module, implantable housing) through real-world testing
Work directly with our manufacturing partner, CICOR, on design-for-manufacturability and biocompatibility requirements
Troubleshoot and resolve issues surfaced during the prototype-to-production transition
Own the technical relationship with CICOR's engineering team, translating between what our product needs and what can be manufactured at scale
Support next-generation hardware development post-launch

Qualifications


Real, hands-on experience designing and validating hardware for constrained, low-power devices

Required Skills


Comfortable working with a contract manufacturer on DFM and production-readiness
Startup-stage mindset, able to work independently and solve problems with limited existing infrastructure

Why Join Now


You'd be joining as a founding team member at a genuinely early stage, before things are fully de-risked, which is exactly why the equity stake matters here. We already have signed clinic LOIs, an organic waitlist with zero ad spend, and a manufacturing partnership in place. This is real traction, not just a pitch, and we're looking for someone who wants ownership in building something from the ground up, not just a paycheck.


Pay Range and Compensation Package


Compensation: Equity-only, equity in Halo X Labs, until our $1.5M pre-seed round closes (expected within the next two months), at which point the role moves to salary.


Equal Opportunity Statement


We are committed to diversity and inclusivity in our hiring practices.
