Propulsion Engineer, Engine Cooling & Air Systems

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.

Boom 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.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering or related field
• Proficiency in Python or similar programming languages
• Drive to develop an expertise in engine secondary air systems engineering working on a turbofan architecture
• Ability to navigate through CAD to support module integration efforts in the engine
• Background in developing design tools, methods or processes
• Testing and data-reduction experience
• Willingness 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 forward

• Component or module ownership experience in a turbomachinery program or product
• Experience in whole engine model creation and execution
• Experience in correlating engine test data to calibrate heat transfer models for whole engine modeling
• In-depth knowledge of different seal configurations applicable to modern turbofan or gas turbine engine architectures
• Experience with secondary air systems architecture and past development programs for in-service turbomachinery
• Prior experience working with engine cycle analysis tools such as NPSS or PyCycle
• Supersonic jet engine design experience
• Part 33 commercial certification experience 
• Ability to dive deep into component-level design and analysis
• Experience with Axstream or ADS turbomachinery software
• A strong desire to avoid bureaucracy and move fast in a dynamic environment
