Help build experimental rotary engines through precision welding and custom fabrication at LiquidPiston's fully onsite Bloomfield, Connecticut, prototype machine shop. The company plans relocation to Suffield later in 2026.
This Experimental Welder position supports next-generation rotary engine technology through hands-on prototype hardware development. Working closely with engineers and technicians, you will create components, fixtures, and tooling for rapid iteration. The work also includes mechanical troubleshooting, inspection, and support for electrical and wiring tasks on prototype systems and test equipment.
Key Responsibilities:
- Support experimental engine builds with custom hardware
- Fabricate components from steel, aluminum, titanium, and alloys
- Modify and troubleshoot mechanical prototype systems
- Assist electrical and wiring tasks for test equipment
- Collaborate on manufacturability and fabrication improvements
Requirements:
- Prototype, research, aerospace, motorsports, defense, or advanced manufacturing experience preferred
- Proficiency with TIG and MIG welding processes
- Familiarity with rapid iteration and custom fixture fabrication
- Ability to interpret engineering drawings and CAD-based concepts
- Creativity, flexibility, and solid problem-solving skills
Bring welding, fabrication, troubleshooting, and collaboration skills to LiquidPiston's experimental rotary engine development programs.
