LiquidPiston
This role involves leading engine performance development and calibration activities to bring LiquidPiston's rotary engines to production. The position requires collaborating with cross-functional teams to define critical data and insights that inform engine architecture and design decisions. Success in this role demands a strong foundation in thermal sciences and engineering principles alongside the ability to adapt quickly to various tasks.
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.
