The Company’s primary focus is to develop distributed power generators that can operate on various fuel sources to future-proof against an ever-changing energy economy.\nJob Purpose\nThe Mechanical Engineer is responsible for end-to-end hardware ownership of components and sub-systems for the KARNO generator, taking designs from CAD through prototype, test, and validation. Working across mechanical, electrical, software, and performance teams, this role designs and troubleshoots complex thermal and mechanical systems that must perform reliably across extreme operating environments and a wide range of fuels. The position exists to advance the development of Hyliion's fuel-agnostic power generation technology through hands-on, test-driven engineering and disciplined design execution.\nDuties and Responsibilities\nOwn hardware components and sub-systems end-to-end-from concept through durability, manufacturability, serviceability, cost, weight, and validation-taking designs from CAD to hardware running on a test stand.\nDesign components and sub-systems that must survive extreme thermal environments, perform across a wide range of fuels (20+), and push the boundaries of metal additive manufacturing.\nCreate 3D models in NX and generate 2D prints with full GD&T per ASME Y14.5.\nPerform design checking and print review to ensure tolerances, processes, and material specifications align with Hyliion's GD&T standards (ASME Y14.5).\nConduct fluid and thermal systems design and optimization.\nPerform structural and thermal FEA (ANSYS or equivalent).\nInstall, calibrate, and read instrumentation for pressure, temperature, flow, strain, and acceleration in lab environments.\nExecute prototype build, test, and validation cycles early and often to identify and resolve issues in the lab rather than the field.\nCollaborate cross-functionally with design, electrical, software, and performance teams throughout the development process.\nLead and participate in technical reviews-presenting findings, driving trade-off discussions, and owning engineering decisions.\nSupport supplier identification, selection, and procurement for prototype and production hardware needs.\nAdditional duties and responsibilities as assigned, needed, or required for the business.\nQualifications\nReasonable accommodation may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.\nQualifications include:\nEducation, Experience and Certifications\nBachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or Electrical Engineering; Master's preferred.\n0-5 years of engineering experience with a track record of designing and troubleshooting complex systems.\nBackground in automotive, aerospace, or medical device engineering is a strong plus.\n Skills and Abilities\nExpert-level NX 3D CAD proficiency, including 2D print generation with full GD&T per ASME Y14.5.\nExperience in fluid and thermal systems design and optimization.\nStructural and thermal FEA experience (ANSYS or equivalent).\nComfort in lab environments: installing, calibrating, and reading instrumentation for pressure, temperature, flow, strain, and acceleration.\nExposure to electrical systems (motors, inverters, batteries) is a bonus.\nSelf-starter who identifies what to test next and makes it happen.\nHighly collaborative across mechanical, electrical, software, and test disciplines.\nClear communicator who can articulate complex trade-offs to diverse stakeholders and follow through on commitments.\nTreats failed test results as data, not setbacks.\nRole Classification and Working Conditions\nThis is a salaried, exempt-level position. This position typically works in an office environment; and given the nature of our business is also exposed to operations/warehouses/production environments.\nPhysical/Other Requirements\nAbility to lift and/or move up to 30 pounds.\nAbility to travel, as needed, by plane, automobile, etc. up to 10%\nWe are not accepting candidates who need sponsorship for this role at this time. \nBenefits: \nMedical Plans, with PPO or HDHP options\nDental Plans, with buy-up option\nVision Plan\nLife Insurance and Accidental Death & Dismemberment Plans, with buy-up options\nShort Term Disability, paid for by the company\nLong Term Disability, paid for by the company\nFlexible Spending Accounts (FSA)\nHealth Savings Account (HSA)\n401k/Roth 401k\nVoluntary Accident Plans\nVoluntary Critical Illness Plans\nHospital Indemnity Plan\nHyliion is proud to be an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.
