About Boom Supersonic

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

That only works if the hardware meets design intent. Right now, we have the inspection capability to check parts. What we don't have is the system that makes inspection credible, repeatable, and scalable. That's what this role exists to build. Forged titanium blisks with unforgiving tolerances. Inertia-welded drive shafts. Single crystal turbine blades. At Boom, you will own the hardest manufacturing problems — on day one of your career.

What they're looking for

  • You've done something extraordinary early — built real hardware independently, led a competition team that actually competed, or done work in an internship that most engineers don't see for years
  • You love building and want to work long, smart, and hard to create things that have real impact
  • You want ownership, not guidance
  • You get more energized when a problem gets harder, not less
  • You're uncomfortable waiting for someone else to find the answer
  • The shop floor sounds more interesting to you than a conference room
More about this role

Boom Supersonic is building the Overture supersonic airliner and the Superpower gas turbine — machines that require some of the most demanding manufacturing in modern industry.

That only works if the hardware meets design intent. Right now, we have the inspection capability to check parts. What we don't have is the system that makes inspection credible, repeatable, and scalable. That's what this role exists to build.

Forged titanium blisks with unforgiving tolerances. Inertia-welded drive shafts. Single crystal turbine blades. At Boom, you will own the hardest manufacturing problems — on day one of your career.

We hire a small number of extraordinary engineers who are ready for a much bigger challenge than most companies would give them. Many places expect you to spend years supporting work that someone else owns before you get near anything real. At Boom, entry-level Manufacturing Engineers are handed real scope from day one — a section of the engine assembly, a machining process, a tooling problem that doesn't have a solution yet — and held accountable for the outcome.

We are developing Superpower — a natural gas turbine for next-generation AI data centers — faster than anyone...
