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
As a Turbine Aerodynamics Engineer, you’ll work shoulder to shoulder with aircraft designers, systems leads, and test engineers to architect the hot section of Symphony—from concept through certification. You’ll design, optimize, and build high-performance turbine systems that make supersonic travel possible. And you’ll be there when it all comes together—when the Symphony prototype roars to life on the test stand this year, and takes flight just a few years from now.
What they're looking for
- Involved in the development of the Symphony turbine system (High pressure and Low pressure), including performance and aerodynamic design
- Design airfoils and and flowpath via CFD analysis
- Advocate for component rigs when deemed necessary, analyze rig and engine test data, recommend courses of action
- Develop and integrate toolchains and processes, including multi-disciplinary workflows and automation that fully integrate engine and propulsion analyses with airframe development
- Coordinate with leadership, team members, and suppliers to ensure the designs can support the manufacturing metrics
- Bachelor’s or Master’s in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering or related field

Start the Best Work of Your Career at Boom
At Boom, our remarkably small team built the groundbreaking XB-1 supersonic jet and designed the world's fastest airliner Overture. What made it possible? Exceptional people—driven, curious, and committed to building what’s never been built before.
Now, we’re applying that same approach to Symphony—the first jet engine purpose-built for sustainable supersonic flight. It will be the fastest development of a large-scale propulsion system in aviation history, and our turbine team is at the heart of it.
