Morphology
The meaning 'the angle at which something is tilted' is directly and compositionally derivable from 'tilt' (a slant or lean) + 'angle' (a measure between lines). This noun+noun technical collocation follows a common descriptive pattern found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should readily infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
Tilt angle comes from the words tilt, meaning to lean, and angle, meaning the measure of that lean. Imagine a picture frame pushed to one side; the tilt angle is how far it leans. So, the term means 'the angle at which something is tilted' and is used when people need to aim or set the position of a thing, like a rocket or camera.
