Senior Software Engineer, Design & Analysis

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.

• Learn how jet engines work—how they’re modeled, analyzed, optimized, and matured into real hardware.
• Work day-to-day with propulsion and turbomachinery engineers to uncover workflow gaps and remove friction at every stage.
• Architect and automate performant end-to-end analysis pipelines that tie together simulation, optimization, test data, and design iteration.
• Build tools, APIs, and data systems that make high-fidelity engineering data instantly accessible, structured, and reliable.
• Develop custom simulation utilities and workflow orchestration when off-the-shelf tools fall short.
• Integrate legacy codes, commercial solvers, and internal tools into unified, stable processes.
• Prototype quickly, gather feedback directly from engineering teams, and evolve solutions into production-grade systems.
• Contribute to Boom’s broader engine design software ecosystem, helping set technical direction and best practices.

• Expert-level Python; comfortable building robust services, pipelines, and scientific tooling.
• Strong software-engineering fundamentals: clean architecture, testing, observability, and maintainability.
• Fluency working with large datasets, simulation outputs, and engineering-grade numerical workflows.
• Ability to design pragmatic data models and APIs that serve multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, containerization, automation frameworks, and reproducible environments.
• Proficiency leveraging AI/ML tools to automate repetitive tasks, accelerate experimentation, and boost engineering throughput.
• A collaborative mindset—thriving when integrated directly with domain experts and iterating based on real engineering needs.

• Background in turbomachinery, aerospace, or complex physics-based or mathematical modeling.
• Experience with engine or propulsion analyses—CFD, FEA, cycle analysis, optimization loops, or high-fidelity simulation chains.
• Strong intuition for the physics underlying modeling workflows and the ability to translate that into better software.
• Track record unifying scientific, legacy, and commercial tools into coherent, automated pipelines.
• Demonstrated ability to ship high-impact software quickly in fast-moving, high-stakes environments.
• Fearless curiosity—a drive to learn how everything works and to build the tools that make it work better.
