## About the role

This role builds the group that owns turbomachinery structures and mechanical design at Boom, starting from a small, strong core. You will own the technical integrity of the engine's rotating and static hardware: disks, cases, airfoils, blisks, and the mechanical systems around them. This is a hands-on leadership seat. You set the rigor bar and build the team, and you stay close enough to the analysis to know when a result is wrong.

## What they're looking for

- Build and lead the structures and mechanical team across stress, mechanical design, bearings and seals, turbine design, and rotordynamics
- Own the structural integrity calls and non-conformance dispositions on rotating hardware
- Set the analytical standard: right-size fidelity to where the program is, know the limits of FEA and material data, and catch results that are wrong or too optimistic
- Stay in the work, turning the crank on the hardest problems, and drive automation with rigor
- Bring structural analysis and mechanical design in-house and build the tooling and standards the team runs on
- Grow the team, sourcing and developing specialists across disciplines, and raise the bar with every hire
