Advanced Manufacturing Technician — Cross-Process Innovator

boom-supersonic; Centennial (CO); On-site; USD 40,000 - 59,000; Full time

Job summary

Boom is building a first-of-its-kind industrial gas turbine and a supersonic airliner. The Advanced Manufacturing Technician will work across the AM lab, The Pit, heat treatment, casting, the M&P lab, coatings and more - turning ideas into data, hardware, and insights.

You’ll help invent and refine processes, sometimes with no existing playbook, to deliver real parts fast. Collaborating with engineers, you’ll fabricate parts, run development trials, and document results.

Qualifications

• Hands-on fabrication or lab experience across more than one domain - machining/finishing, welding/brazing, additive, casting, composites, heat treat, assembly, or materials-lab work.
• Track record of teaching yourself new machines and processes.
• The ability to read engineering drawings and CAD, and connect design intent to how a part gets built.
• Solid documentation habits and the ability to communicate clearly with engineers about what you tried and saw.
• Comfort in a fast-paced, ambiguous R&D environment where the procedure is still being written - and resilience when things fail.

Responsibilities

• Fabricate, build, and finish real parts across many processes - additive (metal, ceramic, polymer), investment casting, heat treatment, and general shop and lab work.
• Work directly with Advanced Process engineers to take rough concepts and get hardware in hand fast - then iterate.
• Set up and run development trials, capture what happened, and feed results back so the process gets better.
• Handle the materials safely and cleanly - powder, wax, ceramic, hot metal, chemicals - with a relentless focus on safety.
• Perform routine cleaning, first-line maintenance, and troubleshooting on the equipment you run.
• Help build out and organize the labs and shop areas: tooling, consumables, workflow, and the work instructions the team will run on.
