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
Low voltage on Superpower is not a single domain. It spans 480VAC skid-level power distribution, machine control and actuation, instrumentation, and electronics down to 12–28VDC — and none of it has been designed yet. There is no inherited architecture to reverse-engineer, no incumbent system to maintain. You will reason from first principles, challenge assumptions early, and make design decisions that shape the platform for years.
What they're looking for
- Define the LV architecture, single-line diagrams, interface requirements, and concept of operations during preliminary design
- Produce wiring diagrams, schematics, cable schedules, load lists, I/O lists, and supporting analyses through detailed design
- Own first-article build, electrical checkout, troubleshooting, first energization, and commissioning during test
- LV power distribution, conversion, control, and protection across 480VAC skid distribution, machine control and actuation, instrumentation, and 12–28VDC electronics
- Cable, harness, junction-box, connector, and control-panel architecture for skid-mounted industrial equipment
- Grounding, bonding, shielding, and EMI/EMC design practices across power, control, and instrumentation wiring
More about this role
Boom Supersonic is building Superpower — a 42-megawatt industrial gas turbine derived from supersonic propulsion technology, purpose-built for frontier AI data centers where power demand is scaling faster than the grid can keep up. We're doing it in Denver, at a pace and cost point the industry says is impossible. Because we think the industry has forgotten what's possible.
Low voltage on Superpower is not a single domain. It spans 480VAC skid-level power distribution, machine control and actuation, instrumentation, and electronics down to 12–28VDC — and none of it has been designed yet. There is no inherited architecture to reverse-engineer, no incumbent system to maintain. You will reason from first principles, challenge assumptions early, and make design decisions that shape the platform for years. When something doesn't work at first energization, you will be the one on-site — tracing signals, reading schematics, finding the answer, and coming back the next day with a fix.
This is the kind of role where the breadth of what you own is genuinely rare. We are looking for an engineer who is energized by that, not just comfortable with it.
