About Boom Supersonic
Stall margin on a high-pressure-ratio compressor. Cooling a turbine blade running in a gas path above its own melting point. At Boom, you'll own problems like these in your first year. Backed by Bessemer, Y Combinator and South Park Commons.
About the role
Engineers who want to spend their first year doing work that actually matters should apply. Internships require 100% onsite at Boom's headquarters located at 6803 S Tucson Way, Centennial, CO 80112.
What they're looking for
- You love building and want to work long, smart, and hard to create things that have real impact
- You want ownership, not a lane, on a team with other high performers
- You get more energized when a problem gets harder, not less
- You're uncomfortable waiting for someone else to find the answer
- GPU-accelerated CFD, the turbine blade flow bench, and engine test stands sound more interesting to you than a conference room
- Work directly on the test stand and in the shop with mechanical, materials, and controls teams to turn propulsion concepts into operational gas turbine hardware
More about this role
This job is demanding and rewarding.
- You've done something extraordinary early – designed rocket injectors, led a competition team (e.g., Formula SAE, AIAA Design/Build/Fly) where you owned propulsion, aerothermal, or fluid networks, or done propulsion work in an internship that most engineers don't see for years.

What you'll do
- Own a defined piece of the propulsion system – from 1D cycle performance and 3D CFD modeling to fuel nozzle design, secondary air systems, rotordynamics, or variable guide vane geometry – with real accountability for the outcome.
- Work directly on the test stand and in the shop with mechanical, materials, and controls teams to turn propulsion concepts into operational gas turbine hardware.
- Analyze thermodynamic cycles,...
