Manufacturing Engineer

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. 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 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.
