Most engineering internships teach you how products are built. At Boom, you help build them. Backed by Bessemer, Y Combinator and South Park Commons.
About the role
You won't sit quietly in meetings, take notes, or shadow from the sidelines. As a Boom intern, you will be embedded directly within core teams, tackling real, high-stakes engineering problems. Working alongside best-in-class engineers, you'll take on more responsibility and ownership than anywhere else in the industry. You’ll leave knowing your work actively pushed history forward. When applying, select the discipline below that best matches your background and passion:
What they're looking for
- You have a track record of building: You've built real hardware independently, led a competitive design team, or executed high-impact work during past roles that most engineers don't touch for years
- You crave ownership, not hand-holding: You get uncomfortable waiting for answers and prefer diving headfirst into complex, ambiguous problems
- You thrive under high stakes: When a problem gets harder, your drive goes up, not down
- You're drawn to execution: The shop floor, lab, or test stand sounds significantly more exciting to you than a conference room
- Solid fundamentals in material science of metallics and ceramics, with knowledge of the strengthening mechanisms of nickel superalloys and the thermal processing of ceramics both as coatings and molds
- Hands-on experience in an M&P lab to test, categorize and evaluate high performance materials including creep and LCF testing and metallography of superalloys
