Laser-based hardware systems for semiconductor materials fabrication
Halo Industries manufactures laser-based hardware systems for semiconductor materials processing, with a tech stack anchored in industrial control (EtherCAT, Modbus, Ethernet/IP, Beckhoff) and optical design (Zemax). The hiring mix—18 engineers, 6 manufacturing staff, plus a Manufacturing Director—paired with pain points around transitioning from R&D to production and scaling production-line control, reveals a company mid-transition from prototyping to high-volume manufacturing.
Notable leadership hires: Manufacturing Director
