The posting

Halo is a hair technology company using breakthrough engineering to elevate everyday routines. We’re building the world’s first robotic hair-braiding system—integrating computer vision, robotics, compliant fiber manipulation, and novel mechatronic machines. This is one of the hardest unsolved problems in robotics, applied to a $300B industry.

8 billion hours are spent braiding hair each year. HaloBraid gives that time back. The system collaborates with professional stylists to reduce braiding appointments from 6 hours to minutes and grow their business. We’re moving from R&D into deployment with salons, well-funded by leading investors. This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of the hair styling industry.

We are looking for a Spring 2027 Mechanical Engineering Co-op to play a pivotal role in developing our innovative hair braiding robotic system.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

- Contribute to the development of complex technology, product sub-assemblies, and test rigs

- Take an active, hands-on role to ensure that engineering problems are resolved thoroughly

- Utilize various rapid prototyping technologies to build, test, and iterate

- Use hand calculations, computer simulation, and/or lab-based testing to validate designs through the development process

- Conduct user testing and project the voice of the customer back into the design

- Conduct various forms of testing, problem solving, and design iteration

REQUIREMENTS:

- At least one semester remaining in your undergraduate or graduate degree

- Experience with CAD (we use Onshape, experience with Solidworks or equivalent is acceptable)

- Experience with various rapid prototyping methods (3D printing, CNC, etc)

- Demonstrated design intelligence, mechanical intuition, creative problem solving, and strong attention to detail

- A willingness to fail and learn!

DESIRED SKILLS & EXPERIENCE (OPTIONAL BUT THE MORE, THE BETTER)

- Gone through (and documented!) the design process for a project, through school or on your own time

- Strong documentation skills and the ability to convey complex ideas in a team setting

- Strong experimental rigor and testing process

- Experience with complex CAD models with clear top down design

- Experience with consumer electronics, robotics, or hair styling tools

- Interest in hair braiding/styling

- Interest in robotics and mechanisms

- Complementary engineering experience:

- Mechanisms, mechatronics, and moving components.

- Experience with design optimization using FEA/CFD simulation

- Electronics prototyping and soldering

Working Style

- User centric, you want to build stuff people use and love

- Low ego, adaptable, and collaborative spirit

- Willing to learn through fast-paced iteration and feedback

- Passionate, driven by innovation

Benefits of Working with Us:

- Company subsidized parking or commute for onsite employees

Onsite work

This is an onsite full time position at our office/lab in Cambridge, MA. You must have authorization to work in the US.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
