Fast-transient power systems. Embedded controllers operating in millisecond time scales. Instrumentation and controls that turn a gas turbine into an intelligent machine. Backed by Bessemer, Y Combinator and South Park Commons.
About the role
As a Compressor Design Engineer, you’ll work shoulder to shoulder with aircraft designers, systems leads, and test engineers to architect the front end of Symphony—from concept through certification. You’ll design, optimize, and build high-performance fan and compression systems that make supersonic travel possible. And you’ll be there when it all comes together—when the Symphony prototype roars to life on the test stand this year, and takes flight just a few years from now.
What they're looking for
- Involved in the development of the Symphony compression system and take ownership of at least one area: High Pressure Compressor, Low Pressure Compressor or Fan
- Design airfoils and flowpath via CFD analysis
- Advocate for component rigs when deemed necessary, analyze rig and engine test data, recommend courses of action
- Contribute to developing and integrating toolchains and processes, including multi-disciplinary workflows and automation that fully integrate engine and propulsion analyses with airframe development
- Bachelor’s or Master’s in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering or related field
- Proficiency in Python or similar programming languages

Boom Supersonic is building the breakthrough Overture supersonic airliner and the Superpower natural gas turbine — machines that push the boundaries of physics, manufacturing, and industrial ambition.
But aircraft and engines don't build themselves. The single most important variable in our success is a world-class team — people who are unusually talented, unusually driven, and willing to do what others won't even attempt.
That's where you come in.
