About the role

A jet engine is a few thousand parts surviving temperatures above the melting point of the metals they're made from, at rotational speeds that push the limits of material science, for thousands of hours.
And when your module fires on the test stand, it will fire because you made it fire.
Integrate your hardware onto test stands.

Own a module of the Superpower engine - turbomachinery, mechanical systems, or structures/integration - from requirements through test.
Drive design decisions that minimize part count, simplify assembly, and shorten the path from drawing to hardware.
Live at the interface between design and fabrication: work directly with our in-house shop and external suppliers to get parts made right, fast, and on budget.
Hands-on experience turning a design into actual hardware, preferably in a high-consequence environment (aerospace, automotive at scale, defense, energy, race cars, robotics).
A track record of making things simpler, cheaper, and faster to build.
You will thrive here if: You believe the shop floor is the most interesting room in the building.
Want to build a faster future?
Most engines take a decade and a billion dollars to develop.

A degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, or Manufacturing Engineering - or equivalent hands-on experience.
The degree field is less important than manufacturing exposure
Real DFM/DFA intuition - you can look at a part and see how it will be made.
You are equally comfortable talking to the machinist making your part as the CFD or FEA analyst who set the requirements - and you understand the "why" on both ends.
You have strong opinions, held loosely, and you'd rather change your mind today than defend a bad idea for six months.
You probably have: A degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, or Manufacturing Engineering - or equivalent hands-on experience.

ITAR Requirement To conform to U.S. Government aerospace technology export regulations (ITAR and EAR), applicant must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.

The range listed is just one component of Boom's total rewards package for employees.
Other rewards may include long-term incentives/equity, a flexible PTO policy, and many other progressive benefits.

We are not the right place for engineers who want to own a requirements document, ship CAD over the wall, and let someone else figure out how to build it.
We are exactly the right place for engineers who want to go home at night knowing their part exists because of them.
