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
Most structures seats mean running someone else's loads through someone else's model on one slice of one component, reporting the margin, and never seeing the part again. This one owns the hardware. You will own structural analysis end to end on rotating and static hardware, loads and boundary conditions through model, margin, and life, and you will be in the cell when the engine runs.
What they're looking for
- Own structural analysis of rotating and static hardware across the engine: disks, blisks, bladed disks, cored blades, shafts, cases, frames, mounts, and joints
- Predict life across the failure modes that matter: disk burst, LCF, HCF, creep, and thermal-mechanical fatigue
- Build the structural and thermal whole-engine models the discipline runs on, and the material models underneath them
- Set frequency margin and clear high-cycle fatigue risk alongside aeromechanics and aero, iterating designs rather than rejecting them
- Right-size the analysis to the question: hand calcs and coarse models when speed is what's needed, high-fidelity and test-correlated work when the risk earns it
- Plan and support engine and rig testing, including instrumentation, being in the cell, and correlating prediction against measurement afterward
More about this role
Start the Best Work of Your Career at Boom
Boom Supersonic is building the breakthrough Overture supersonic airliner and the Superpower natural gas turbine — machines that push the boundaries of physics, manufacturing, and industrial ambition.
But aircraft and engines don't build themselves. The single most important variable in our success is a world-class team — people who are unusually talented, unusually driven, and willing to do what others won't even attempt.
That's where you come in.
Turbomachinery Structural Analysis Engineer
Boom Supersonic designed, built, and flew XB-1, the first civil supersonic jet made in America, and has sold Overture, the supersonic airliner, to major airlines. That same team is now building Symphony, the engine that powers Overture, and adapting Superpower, its industrial gas turbine, to power AI data centers.
