LiquidPiston
The Senior Power Electronics Engineer will design, simulate, and debug power electronics hardware for advanced engine and generator systems, including converters, inverters, and motor drives. This role involves hands-on hardware bring-up, troubleshooting, and validation while collaborating with cross-functional teams to develop integrated products. The position requires adapting to a fast-paced environment where priorities evolve quickly and engineers take broad ownership of hardware development.
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.
