## Job description

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 Technical Program Manager owns the planning and coordination of hardware programs focused on our assembling and other traditionally manufactured power generation components and deliverables. This role helps bridge the gap between engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, and operations, ensuring our beta-stage designs make a successful leap to production.

AI at Hyliion

At 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.

Duties and Responsibilities

- Drive the end-to-end program execution of assembling the components, from prototype validation to initial production ramp.
- Partner with mechanical design engineers and manufacturing engineers to ensure designs are manufacturable and scalable.
- Develop and maintain detailed project timelines, tracking milestones, budgets, and risk mitigation plans.
- Strategic Problem-Solving: Apply a structured, hypothesis-driven approach to diagnose complex program challenges, identify root causes, and develop data-backed solutions.
- Lead cross-functional meetings to align engineering, operations, procurement, quality assurance and external vendors around shared goals.
- Coordinate testing and validation of parts, including mechanical, thermal, and durability testing in real-world power generation applications.
- Assist in supplier sourcing, DFM (Design for Manufacturability) reviews, and process validation with supplier partners. Track any ECRs resulting from modifications needed from design issues, testing, DFM or DFMEA activities.
- Report regularly to leadership on program status, blockers, and key decision points.
- Performance Management: Design, implement, and monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) and dashboards to track supply chain health and project performance. Provide regular reports to management on progress against strategic objectives.

Project Coordination & Support:

- Deep dive into the mechanical hardware program blocks.
- Track project milestones, tasks, and deadlines, proactively identifying and flagging potential delays or risks, and actively problem-solve to mitigate the risk in the delays.
- Schedule and coordinate project meetings, including preparing agendas, taking minutes, and tracking action items.
- Support the preparation of project status reports and presentations for stakeholders.

Documentation & Information Management:

- Organize all project-related documentation, including technical specifications, engineering change management, design documents, test reports, and manufacturing procedures.
