Mechanical Engineer: Own Subsystems from CAD to Test

Boom Supersonic; Englewood (CO); On-site; USD 87,000 - 117,000; Full time

Benefits offered by this job

On-site meals

Gym access

Equity incentives

Flexible PTO

Job summary

Boom Supersonic seeks early-career engineers to own mechanical subsystems and help build real hardware for advanced propulsion systems. You’ll work on fuel, lube, cooling, and balance-of-plant components, from concept through integration, with significant ownership from day one.

Ideal candidates bring hands-on CAD and analysis experience with NX/SolidWorks/CATIA, internship exposure, and a strong fundamentals toolbox in statics, dynamics, materials, machine design, and thermodynamics.

Qualifications

• A degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent hands-on hardware experience.
• At least one internship or co-op where you designed, analyzed, or built real-world mechanical systems.
• Hands-on CAD and analysis experience – proficiency with standard 3D CAD modeling (e.g., NX, SolidWorks, CATIA) and structural/thermal FEA tools.
• A rock-solid grasp of core mechanical engineering fundamentals – statics, dynamics, mechanics of materials, machine design, and fluid mechanics/thermodynamics.
• A track record of finishing hard things, inside school and outside of it.

Responsibilities

• Own parts of mechanical subsystems — fuel, lube, cooling, and other balance-of-plant systems — from initial concept through analysis, drawing release, and integration into the full engine system.
• Design components and assemblies that balance performance, reliability, manufacturability, and testability, making real engineering tradeoffs on hardware that actually gets built.
• Plan and support assembly processes, working closely with manufacturing engineers on the floor to make sure your designs can be built, assembled, and serviced.
• Design and run component and system-level tests — instrument the hardware, collect data, interpret results, and use what you learn to make better engineering decisions faster.
• Collaborate across propulsion, electrical, and manufacturing teams to make sure your subsystems integrate cleanly with the rest of the engine.
