Compressor Aerodynamics Engineer

Join Boom SupersonicBoom Supersonic's mission is to make the world dramatically more accessible through a renaissance in supersonic flight. Boom is developing the Symphony supersonic engine, which powers the Overture supersonic airliner and the Superpower natural gas turbine for AI. Overture will fly at twice the speed of today's subsonic jets over water and 50% faster over land with Boomless Cruise.Start the Best Work of Your Career at BoomBoom Supersonic is building the breakthrough Overture supersonic airliner and the Superpower natural gas turbine — machines that push the boundaries of physics, manufacturing, and industrial ambition.But aircraft and engines don't build themselves. The single most important variable in our success is a world-class team — people who are unusually talented, unusually driven, and willing to do what others won't even attempt.That's where you come in.Role OverviewAs a Compressor Design Engineer, you'll work shoulder to shoulder with aircraft designers, systems leads, and test engineers to architect the front end of Symphony—from concept through certification. You'll design, optimize, and build high-performance fan and compression systems that make supersonic travel possible. And you'll be there when it all comes together—when the Symphony prototype roars to life on the test stand this year, and takes flight just a few years from now.If you're the kind of engineer who chases understanding, thrives in the unknown, and gets energy from building what's never been built—you'll fit right in.Ideal CandidateBachelor's or Master's in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering or related fieldProficiency in Python or similar programming languagesDesign experience in axial turbomachinery (including meanline and 3D steady and unsteady CFD)Ability to navigate through CAD to support module integration efforts in the engineExperience with high speed compressor airfoil design and tuningExperience working with engine cycle analysis tools such as NPSS or PyCycleWillingness to both speak and listen, to give opinions and receive opinions, to consider all the data and be part of building the team consensus to move forwardWhat Will Set You ApartComponent or module ownership experience in a turbomachinery program or productSupersonic jet engine design experiencePart 33 commercial certification experienceAerodynamics or Structures lead on the development of high speed and highly loaded turbomachineryAirfoil tuning and aero-mechanics related analysis such as unsteady mutli-blade row CFD, flutter analysisExperience with operability analysis and assessment at the engine levelExperience analyzing secondary flow systems inside enginesBackground in developing design tools, methods or processesTesting and data-reduction experienceExperience with Axstream or ADS turbomachinery softwareA strong desire to avoid bureaucracy and move fast in a dynamic environmentWe're hiring at multiple levels of experience—whether you're early in your career or bring decades of design expertise, we'd love to hear from you.CompensationP3 Level - Typically 5 - 10 years of experience - Base salary range: $107,000 – $135,000P4 Level - Typically 10 - 15 years of experience - Base salary range: $133,000 – $169,000P5 Level - Typically 15 + years of experience - Base salary range: $160,000 – $203,000Actual compensation will vary based on factors including, but not limited to, location, experience, and performance.
