LiquidPiston
LiquidPiston is developing a revolutionary rotary X-engine platform for various sectors, aiming to reshape propulsion technology. They are seeking a strategic and inventive Chief Engineer to lead a major engine development program from prototype to production in a collaborative, hands-on environment.
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.
