LiquidPiston
The Prototype Machinist at LiquidPiston will program, set up, and operate CNC milling machines and lathes to produce high‑precision components for advanced rotary engine prototypes. The role involves interpreting engineering drawings, inspecting parts for quality, and collaborating with engineers and technicians in a fast‑paced R&D 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.
