LiquidPiston
This internship offers hands-on experience in engine development, allowing interns to run experiments, analyze performance data, and troubleshoot results alongside experienced engineers. The role involves planning and executing engine tests, utilizing AI tools for data processing, and supporting calibration and optimization efforts. Interns will contribute to technical discussions, document findings, and help drive iterative improvements to engine design and operating strategies.
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.
