Turbomachinery Engineering Lead

Boom Supersonic; Denver (CO); On-site; USD 160,000 - 203,000; Full time

Job summary

Boom Supersonic is seeking a hands-on leader to own turbomachinery structures and mechanical design, from disks and airfoils to seals and rotordynamics. You will set rigor, build the team, and stay close enough to analyze results, ensuring integrity of rotating hardware.

The role requires deep turbomachinery experience, strong stress/vibration fundamentals, GD&T expertise, and a track record of shipping hard hardware under constraints.

Qualifications

• Deep experience in turbomachinery or rotating-hardware structures and mechanical design.
• First‑principles command of stress and vibration: disk burst, LCF, HCF, TMF, rotordynamics, with the judgment to bound a result by hand.
• Strong tolerancing and GD&T with real awareness of how designs get made.
• A track record of building and leading strong technical teams and shipping hard hardware under real constraints.
• The instinct to lead the work, not just the org, and ideally to code and automate.

Responsibilities

• Build and lead the structures and mechanical team across stress, mechanical design, bearings and seals, turbine design, and rotordynamics
• Own the structural integrity calls and non-conformance dispositions on rotating hardware
• Set the analytical standard: right-size fidelity to where the program is, know the limits of FEA and material data, and catch results that are wrong or too optimistic
• Stay in the work, turning the crank on the hardest problems, and drive automation with rigor
• Bring structural analysis and mechanical design in‑house and build the tooling and standards the team runs on
• Grow the team, sourcing and developing specialists across disciplines, and raise the bar with every hire
