Description du poste

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 Senior Manager, Additive Fleet is responsible for the day-to-day performance of Hyliion's laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) printer fleet in Austin, which produces the complex, high-density metal heat exchanger hardware in the KARNO Core. 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.

• Develop machine health monitoring using machine data and sensor feeds to predict failures, plan maintenance, and inform fleet-wide decisions.
• Evaluate and make decisions on hardware and software upgrades as new capability becomes available from Colibrium Additive and other sources.
• Lead fleet expansion planning as print capacity scales, including layout, staffing, and process readiness for new machines.
• Build repeatable processes across different machine models and maintain high uptime as new platforms come online.
• Own the learning curve on new machine technology and platforms, and build institutional knowledge as Hyliion adopts next-generation LPBF systems.
