Job summary

Boom Supersonic, based in Englewood, CO, seeks an engine-analyst to own performance and operability analyses for Superpower and Symphony, coordinating with compressor, turbine, and controls teams. You will define model assumptions, run steady-state and transient analyses, and ensure predictions align with measured data.

We value aerothermodynamics expertise, experience with NPSS/PyCycle/GasTurb, and the ability to communicate complex results clearly.

Qualifications

Aerothermodynamic fundamentals.
Experience with engine-performance analysis tools.
Ability to explain cycle assumptions and uncertainty.

Responsibilities

Own steady-state and transient cycle-modeling and operability-analysis scope for Superpower and Symphony, with documented assumptions and checks.
Assess stall margin and operability across transients, start behavior, and load response with component and controls teams.
Define performance and operability test questions and instrumentation needs with the test team.
Reduce test data, reconcile measured results with predictions, and calibrate models with evidence.
Integrate compressor, turbine, combustion, and secondary-air trades into engine-level recommendations and answer customer power and heat-rate questions.
Build shared PyCycle models and tools that make recurring analyses reproducible.
