About the role

Hyliion is committed to creating innovative solutions that enable clean, flexible and affordable electricity production.
Job Purpose and Overview Step into the world of metal additive manufacturing for the KARNO generator, where advanced laser powder-bed fusion meets real engineering challenge.
Engineers in this group work across machine behavior, process optimization, material performance, data analytics, and hardware development to ensure high-quality, repeatable production using metal laser powder-bed fusion systems.

Identify and optimize critical-to-function (CTF) parameters that drive mechanical performance, density, porosity, microstructure, and repeatability.
Design and execute experiments (DOE) to map the process window, understand sensitivities, and reduce variation.
Build and maintain parameter sets for new alloys, new hardware, and new machine configurations.
Develop statistical models, SPC controls, and trend analysis tools to ensure stable production behavior.
Lead machine troubleshooting, repair activities, and upgrades to improve uptime, repeatability, and print speeds.
Support machine-level IQ/OQ/MQ qualification and ongoing PM/maintenance strategies.
Collaborate with equipment vendors and internal engineering teams on new machine features, experimental setups, and pilot systems.
Drive automation, digital manufacturing, and data-acquisition improvements for machine performance monitoring.

Bachelor's degree in mechanical, materials science, aerospace, or related engineering discipline.
Requires a minimum of 5 years of engineering experience after earning a bachelor's degree
Direct, hands-on experience with laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) additive manufacturing REQUIRED.
Ability to interpret engineering drawings, apply GD&T, and understand material data.
Reasonable accommodation may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
Education, Experience and Certifications Required
relevant graduate project work can be applied toward requirements.
Background in fabrication, prototyping, testing, or process development within an engineering environment.
Strong analytical and root-cause problem-solving skills.
Comfortable working hands-on with machines, tools, test equipment, and mechanical assemblies.
Build prep/simulation software like ANSYS Additive Suite, 3DXpert, or Dyndrite.
Experience developing AM parameters, designing DOEs, or using statistical analysis tools (SPC, JMP, Minitab, Python, MATLAB).

Experience troubleshooting AM machines, calibrating optics, repairing systems, or working with machine sensors and controls.
Knowledge of DFAM principles, heat-treat processes, and additive-appropriate material behaviors (e.g., nickel alloys, titanium).
Familiarity with CAD tools (NX, SolidWorks, or similar) and simulation/analysis workflows.
Experience with IQ/OQ/MQ qualification approaches.
Strong communication skills and ability to present findings to cross-functional teams.
Experience in a fast-paced R&D or startup hardware environment.
Ability to lift and/or move up to 50 pounds.
Ability to travel domestically, as needed, by plane, automobile, etc. approximately 30% of the time,
