Boom Supersonic

Centennial, US · Full-time · $107,000 – $203,000

About this role

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. It will be the fastest development of a large-scale propulsion system in aviation history.

As a Senior Propulsion Engineer - Engine Mechanical Design, you’ll work shoulder to shoulder with aircraft designers, systems leads, and test engineers. You’ll design, optimize, and build the engine mechanical systems that make supersonic travel possible. Our engine mechanical design team is at the heart of it.

At Boom, our remarkably small team built the groundbreaking XB-1 supersonic jet and designed the world's fastest airliner Overture. Exceptional people—driven, curious, and committed—made it possible. If you chase understanding and thrive in the unknown, you’ll fit right in.

You’ll be there when the Symphony prototype roars to life on the test stand this year and takes flight just a few years from now. There are many opportunities to get involved in all aspects of Symphony engine development and Overture propulsion system integration, including fabrication and testing.

Requirements

Bachelor’s or Master’s in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering or related field
Expert-level experience with CAD systems such as 3DX, Catia or NX
Expertise in Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T)
Familiarity with a variety of manufacturing techniques used in gas turbine production (single crystal casting, hollow core fan blades, linear friction welding, additive manufacturing, etc.)
Leadership experience in designing turbomachinery modules and parts throughout different phases of a program

Responsibilities

Own the design features covering all the mechanically dynamic phenomena in the engine, including loads, actuation, rotordynamics, failure scenarios, and more
Develop technically sound design solutions to get Symphony turbofan in the air as fast as possible
Interpret, define and review tolerances and features on part drawings
Create physical layouts, models, and general arrangements of modules and whole engines such as 2D cross sections, 3D models, tolerance stackups
Contribute to the creation of whole engine models that incorporate structures, rotors, ducts, services routing, actuation, secondary air systems and thermal management
Collaborate on specifications and design requirements for each module and help lead cross discipline integration efforts
Act as the technical owner for all mechanical aspects of the engine, including fits, seals, mounts, joints and other components
Develop and implement plans for assembly and disassembly for both development and production
