LiquidPiston
LiquidPiston is developing a new rotary internal combustion engine with applications in aerospace, defense, and industrial markets. They are seeking a Metallurgical Engineer to focus on materials selection, processing, and testing to improve engine components' performance and durability.
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.
