LiquidPiston
LiquidPiston is seeking a Chief Engineer to provide strategic and technical leadership for the design, development, integration, and commercialization of advanced propulsion systems for aerospace and defense applications. The role involves guiding multidisciplinary teams, overseeing the full product lifecycle from concept to field deployment, and serving as the principal technical authority for customers and government programs.
LiquidPiston develops and commercializes a patented rotary combustion technology (the X‑Engine) built around its High‑Efficiency Hybrid Cycle (HEHC). Their compact engines deliver very high power density — up to ~10× the power of comparable piston engines — and roughly 30% better fuel efficiency, making them a strong fit for hybrid‑electric systems and range extenders. Target markets include aviation and unmanned aircraft, portable and stationary generators, industrial and defense applications, and OEM integrations across their X‑mini and XTS platforms.
