This hardware can only be produced through metal additive manufacturing, so Hyliion's ability to build KARNO at scale depends directly on the health, uptime, and throughput of the fleet. The role leads the technicians and operators who run and maintain the machines, and owns preventive maintenance strategy, machine health monitoring, and decisions on hardware and software upgrades. The fleet runs the full range of Colibrium Additive LPBF platforms, including new machine technology being adopted in real time, and a primary focus is reducing machine-to-machine variation and building repeatable processes across machine models. This is a hands-on leadership role with regular time on the shop floor, and its scope will grow as Hyliion's print capacity scales.\nAI at Hyliion\nAt Hyliion, AI is core to how we work. We equip every team member with leading AI tools and count on you to use them - to move faster, solve harder problems, and help us realize the full potential of KARNO technology for the world.\nDuties and Responsibilities\nOwn fleet uptime and drive continuous improvement in machine-to-machine consistency across Hyliion's LPBF printer fleet.\nBuild and maintain a preventive maintenance program across all machines to identify failure modes before they cause downtime.\nLead, schedule, and develop the team of technicians and operators who run and maintain the fleet.\nDevelop machine health monitoring using machine data and sensor feeds to predict failures, plan maintenance, and inform fleet-wide decisions.\nEvaluate and make decisions on hardware and software upgrades as new capability becomes available from Colibrium Additive and other sources.\nLead fleet expansion planning as print capacity scales, including layout, staffing, and process readiness for new machines.\nBuild repeatable processes across different machine models and maintain high uptime as new platforms come online.\nOwn the learning curve on new machine technology and platforms, and build institutional knowledge as Hyliion adopts next-generation LPBF systems.\nWalk the shop floor regularly to identify process improvement opportunities and drive changes that reduce variation and maximize uptime.\nTroubleshoot and resolve issues that threaten fleet uptime, including outside of normal working hours when needed.\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:\n Education, Experience and Certifications\nBachelor's degree in engineering or a related field, with a focus on advanced manufacturing.\n5+ years of hands-on experience with LPBF (laser powder bed fusion) additive manufacturing in a production environment, rather than a lab or R&D setting.\nExperience with Colibrium Additive (formerly GE Additive) machines strongly preferred.\nExperience leading a team, either in a formal management role or as a lead technical contributor.\nSkills and Abilities\nHands-on skill running and troubleshooting LPBF machines at the operator and technician level.\nTrack record of driving process improvement on production additive manufacturing equipment.\nThorough understanding of machine optical calibration and its impact on part quality and machine-to-machine consistency.\nAbility to analyze machine data and sensor/log data to make fleet-level decisions on maintenance, upgrades, and process changes.\nUnderstanding of the physics underlying LPBF machine operation, sufficient to predict machine performance and diagnose root causes of variation.\nAbility to evaluate and adopt new machine hardware and software as it becomes available.\nSelf-starter who identifies problems proactively and is willing to work hands-on at the machine level.\nAbility to lead and develop a team of technicians, including without an extensive formal management background.\nAbility to work through the uncertainty of adopting new machine technology and build the processes and playbook as the technology matures.\nWillingness to work extended or off hours as needed to maximize fleet uptime.\nRole Classification and Working Conditions\nThis is a salaried, exempt-level position.
