Hyliion is committed to creating innovative solutions that enable clean, flexible and affordable electricity production. 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. Job Purpose The 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. Duties and Responsibilities Own 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. Design 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. Create 3D models in NX and generate 2D prints with full GD&T per ASME Y14.5. Perform design checking and print review to ensure tolerances, processes, and material specifications align with Hyliion's GD&T standards (ASME Y14.5). Conduct fluid and thermal systems design and optimization. Perform structural and thermal FEA (ANSYS or equivalent). Install, calibrate, and read instrumentation for pressure, temperature, flow, strain, and acceleration in lab environments. Execute prototype build, test, and validation cycles early and often to identify and resolve issues in the lab rather than the field. Collaborate cross-functionally
