## About the role

Boom is building Superpower, a first-of-its-kind industrial gas turbine for behind-the-grid energy generation, and Symphony, the engine that will return supersonic flight to passengers. Both run on high-temperature nickel superalloys, in parts that are already designed. Our job is making sure those parts exist on schedule - and additive manufacturing, running in parallel with castings, is how we guarantee it.

## What they're looking for

- Design and execute DOEs for hard-to-print metal alloys on production LPBF machines - and document what you learn
- Develop process parameters from scratch for extreme-preheat platforms printing crack-prone superalloys
- Own part-specific application development: build orientation, support strategy, distortion compensation, depowdering, heat treat and HIP specification, machining interfaces, and inspection plans
- Automate the work: programmatic DOE generation and build prep to minimize manual work and set up files in a fraction of the normal time
- Write the documentation that carries the process from R&D to production: procedures, work instructions, build records, powder reuse tracking, traceability
- Help scope, procure, install, and commission equipment - then use it and train others on it
