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 Metrology Engineer is Hyliion's technical authority on dimensional measurement across internal operations and the supply base. KARNO functionality depends on precision machined components and sub-assemblies held to micron-level form and finish, and this position sits within the Quality function as the interface between Design Engineering, the supply base, Manufacturing, and Quality. The role owns the measurement system end to end: the metrology lab and equipment roadmap, inspection programs and fixtures, the calibration and gage control system, and the measurement standards to which both supplier and internal inspection are held. The position is accountable for the integrity of dimensional data wherever it is generated — at a supplier's machine, at receiving inspection, or in process on Hyliion's floor — and for ensuring that results from those sources agree within defined, documented tolerances. The balance between supplier-facing and internal work shifts with the maturity of the supply base and the product portfolio; both are permanent responsibilities of the role. AI at Hyliion At Hyliion, AI is core to how we work.
