LiquidPiston
The Engine Performance Technician will work closely with engineers to execute engine tests, collect and analyze data, configure instrumentation, and support control system and calibration development. This role involves setting up and operating engine performance test cells, performing mechanical setup and instrumentation, and validating sensor accuracy and signal quality. The position requires strong fundamentals in internal combustion engines, test cell operation, and engine data acquisition systems.
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.
