Mechanical Engineer

Boom 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 BoomWe're building Superpower-a next-generation gas turbine designed to bring abundant, reliable energy to the AI era. And like everything we do at Boom, we're doing it with a small team, high standards, and a bias for action.Every engine starts somewhere. Ours starts with SN0-the first Superpower prototype-and Sprint Core, our pathfinder hardware. Before we light the engine, before we collect data, before we optimize performance, we have to design it, detail it, and build it. That's where you come in.As an early-career Mechanical Engineer, you'll begin by turning bold designs into precise, production-ready drawings for SN0. You'll be in the shop during Sprint Core build, learning how hardware really comes together. And once you've earned context and credibility, you'll design and own components and subsystems yourself. If you want to grow from detail-oriented contributor to full system owner-fast-this is your runway.Role OverviewCreate detailed manufacturing drawings for SN0 engine hardware, ensuring clarity, completeness, and producibilityTranslate 3D CAD models into production-ready documentation with GD&T, tolerances, and inspection requirementsPartner closely with manufacturing engineers and machinists to resolve drawing questions and drive first-pass successSupport the hands-on build of Sprint Core-participating in assembly, troubleshooting, and real-time problem solvingIncorporate redlines and build feedback into updated designs and released documentationAssist in developing test hardware, fixtures, and structural elements for engine testingBuild strong fundamentals in engine subsystems (fuel, oil, structures, accessories) through direct exposure to design and testProgress into ownership of components and subsystems-taking hardware from concept through design, analysis, build, and testCommunicate clearly across design, manufacturing, and test teams to ensure alignment and executionThe Ideal CandidateBachelor's degree in Mechanical or Aerospace EngineeringStrong command of mechanical fundamentals: statics, dynamics, fluids, thermals, and materialProficiency in CAD for part modeling, assemblies, and drawing creationWorking knowledge of GD&T and tolerance stack-ups (or a strong desire to master them quickly)Experience through internships, co-ops, or projects that involved building or testing real hardwareComfort spending time in a machine shop, assembly bay, or test environment-not just behind a screenStrong attention to detail and pride in producing clean, accurate documentationDemonstrates a strong work ethic and ambition, complemented by effective collaboration skills in a team settingExcels in a high-energy, independent, and challenging work environmentWhat Will Set You ApartYou've supported a prototype build or seen hardware go from CAD to testYou've worked closely with machinists or fabricators and understand what makes a drawing "shop-ready"You ask why-not just how-and want to deeply understand how turbines, gearboxes, fuel systems, and structures actually workYou're hungry for ownership and actively seek feedback to accelerate your growthYou want to build engines that matter-and you're motivated by the scale and urgency of bringing Superpower to lifeCompensationThe Base Salary Range for this position is $85,000 - $107,000 per year. Actual salaries will vary based on factors including but not limited to location, experience, and performance. The range listed is just one component of Boom's total rewards package for employees.
