Job summary

Boom Supersonic is building the Overture supersonic airliner and the Superpower gas turbine. This role gives you real ownership from day one, tackling a defined part of engine assembly, machining, tooling, or process development on the shop floor.

You will work with machinists, technicians, manufacturing engineers, and build engineers to solve problems, improve instructions, and scale capabilities to meet demanding tolerances.

Qualifications

• A degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Aerospace, or Industrial Engineering or equivalent hands-on experience.
• Hands-on manufacturing experience—time in a shop, on a line, or building hardware.
• Genuine curiosity about how things are made and manufacturability.

Responsibilities

• Own a defined piece of the manufacturing operation with accountability for the outcome.
• Work with machinists, technicians, manufacturing engineers, and build engineers on the floor to solve problems.
• Build and improve processes, work instructions, and tooling for reliable hardware assembly.
• Collaborate with design engineering to simplify parts for manufacturing.
• Iterate quickly to identify issues, fix them, and move to the next challenge.

Job description

Boom Supersonic is building the Overture supersonic airliner and the Superpower gas turbine - machines that require some of the most demanding manufacturing in modern industry.

That only works if the hardware meets design intent. Right now, we have the inspection capability to check parts. What we don't have is the system that makes inspection credible, repeatable, and scalable. That's what this role exists to build.

Forged titanium blisks with unforgiving tolerances. Inertia-welded drive shafts. Single crystal turbine blades. At Boom, you will own the hardest manufacturing problems - on day one of your career.

We hire a small number of extraordinary engineers who are ready for a much bigger challenge than most companies would give them. Many places expect you to spend years supporting work that someone else owns before you get near anything real. At Boom, entry-level Manufacturing Engineers are handed real scope from day one - a section of the engine assembly, a machining process, a tooling problem that doesn't have a solution yet - and held accountable for the outcome.

We are developing Superpower - a natural gas turbine for next-generation AI data centers - faster than anyone has built turbomachinery before. The manufacturing problems we're solving don't have playbooks. You will write them.

This job isn't for everyone. You're the right person if:

• You've done something extraordinary early - built real hardware independently, led a competition team that actually competed, or done work in an internship that most engineers don't see for years
• You love building and want to work long, smart, and hard to create things that have real impact
• You want ownership, not guidance
• You get more energized when a problem gets harder, not less
• You're uncomfortable waiting for someone else to find the answer
• The shop floor sounds more interesting to you than a conference room

What you'll do

• Own a defined piece of the manufacturing operation - engine assembly, machining, tooling, or process development - with real accountability for the outcome
• Work directly with machinists, technicians, manufacturing engineers, and build engineers to solve problems on the floor, not from behind a desk
• Build and improve the processes, work instructions, and tooling that allow complex hardware to come together reliably
• Partner with design engineering to make parts easier to build
• Iterate fast - figure out what's wrong, fix it, and move on to the next problem

You probably have

• A degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Aerospace, or Industrial Engineering - or equivalent hands-on experience
• At least one internship or co-op where you made something real
• Hands-on manufacturing experience - time in a shop, on a line, or building hardware. This is required, not a nice-to-have
• Genuine curiosity about how things are made and how to best design for performance and manufacturability
• A track record of finishing hard things, inside school and outside of it

You will thrive here if

• You want ownership, not guidance
• You get more energized when a problem gets harder, not less
• You're comfortable not knowing the answer yet - and uncomfortable waiting for someone else to find it
• The shop floor sounds more interesting to you than a conference room

The ramp here is steep and the expectations are high from day one. Engineers who want a structured development program and a clearly defined lane should look elsewhere.

Compensation

The Base Salary Range for this position is $81,000 - $103,000 per year. Actual salaries will vary based on factors including but not limited to location, experience, and performance.

Benefits

Along with competitive pay and meaningful equity, Boom offers:

• Medical coverage, with Boom paying 70% of medical premiums
• Fully paid dental and vision premiums for employee-only coverage
• A $100-$300 company HSA match on eligible medical plans
• A 401(k) with a company match
• Generous paid time off and company holidays
• Paid parental leave
• Confidential counseling, coaching, and therapy resources for you and your family
• Company-paid life and disability insurance
• Pet insurance
• A $1,000 contribution to Invest America accounts for Boom babies
• Healthy meals, an on-site gym, and a fully stocked kitchen
• Ongoing wellness events
• Discounts on technology, concerts, and rental cars
• A dedicated real estate team to help you find a home
