Job description
About LiquidPiston
LiquidPiston, Inc. is reinventing the internal combustion engine. Our patented X-engine architecture is a compact, lightweight, and fuel-efficient rotary engine that operates on a novel thermodynamic cycle. With applications in defense, aerospace, robotics, and portable power, we're developing the next generation of high-performance, compact engines for critical power systems.
We are seeking a Senior Design Engineer to play a key role in the design, simulation, and development of our advanced rotary engines. This is a hands-on, high-impact engineering role ideal for someone with a deep understanding of engine systems, a passion for innovation, and a strong background in mechanical design and simulation.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Generate and evaluate new ideas to improve the performance, durability, and manufacturability of LiquidPiston's rotary engines.
  • Create detailed part and assembly models using SolidWorks.
  • Lead early-stage engine architecture and layout processes.
  • Perform component and system-level analysis using a combination of hand calculations, simulation tools, and experimental data.
  • Create and release production-ready technical drawings.
  • Select and coordinate with suppliers and machine shops-from RFQ to incoming inspection.
  • Support and oversee engine assembly processes; contribute to hands-on prototyping.
  • Participate in engine testing and interpret results to inform design iterations.
  • Create and maintain standardized procedures for engine design, analysis, and documentation.
  • Lead and mentor technicians, interns, and junior engineers on design and analysis tasks.
  • Present technical ideas and results clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Maintain a collaborative, proactive, and positive engineering mindset.
Minimum Requirements:
  • BS or higher in Mechanical Engineering
  • 3+ years of experience in engine component/system design and simulation
  • Strong understanding of internal combustion engines and design for manufacturing
  • Proficient in SolidWorks (modeling and assemblies)
  • Experience with mechanical, thermal, and fluid simulation tools (e.g., ANSYS, GT-Suite, MATLAB)
  • Ability to independently lead projects, solve problems, and communicate results effectively
Helpful Skills:
  • Experience with advanced engine concepts (e.g., rotary, Miller cycle, HCCI, etc.)
  • Professional experience designing high-speed machinery: camshafts, bearings, gears
  • Background in hands-on prototyping and working in machine shop environments
  • Strong writing and communication skills (especially for proposals or technical reports)
  • Experience mentoring or leading small engineering teams
Benefits & Perks
  • Flexible PTO: We value work-life balance and encourage time to rest and recharge.
  • Health & Wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage-you choose what works best for you.
  • Equity Participation: Permanent employees receive RSUs (Restricted Stock Units).
  • 401(k) Match: We offer a 401k w/100% matching up to 3% of your salary and then 50% of contributions between 3-5%
  • Career Growth: Ongoing training, mentorship, and learning opportunities to accelerate your growth.
