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
At Boom Supersonic, we're building Superpower — a 42-megawatt industrial gas turbine designed to deliver high-efficiency power generation at scale. Our first prototype is being assembled right now, we're standing up the production facility in parallel, and we're hiring the supervisor who will build the team that runs it — so that when the prototype proves out, we're ready to build the first production units without losing a day. We're looking for a Machine Shop Supervisor who can grow that team.
What they're looking for
- Experience in CNC machining with at least 2 years in an explicitly supervisory role in a precision manufacturing environment
- Demonstrated experience building a team or being a first supervisor into a new operation — not just inheriting one
- Background in aerospace, defense, or industrial manufacturing where safety and quality are non-negotiable
- Hiring experience — has screened, evaluated, and recommended candidates with documented outcomes
- Communication discipline — runs tight shift handoffs, escalates with context, closes the loop
- Building and developing the team — hiring, onboarding, and accountability

This isn't a role where you step into a running operation with a fully established team and proven processes. You will hire the machinists, set the standards, and create the shift from the ground up — while running daily operations as the team grows around you.
On any given shift you'll own it all: safety, quality, schedule, team development, and the handoff to the next supervisor. You'll make hard calls without a playbook because the playbook doesn't exist yet — you're writing it. When the Machining Manager isn't on the floor, you are the management presence. When problems surface, you solve them. When people on your team aren't meeting the standard, you address it directly and...
