What are some common challenges a Bearing Engineer faces when collaborating with cross-functional teams?

A Bearing Engineer often works closely with design, manufacturing, and quality assurance teams to ensure bearings meet performance and reliability standards. One common challenge is effectively communicating technical requirements and limitations, especially when balancing cost constraints with performance goals. Additionally, coordinating design changes and troubleshooting issues across multiple departments can require strong organizational and interpersonal skills. Being proactive in sharing updates and seeking feedback helps streamline collaboration and avoid misalignments.

What are bearings?

Bearings are mechanical components that support and guide moving parts, reducing friction between them. They are commonly used in machines with rotating or moving parts, such as wheels, engines, and turbines. Bearings help ensure smooth operation, increase efficiency, and extend the lifespan of machinery by minimizing wear and tear. There are many types of bearings, including ball bearings, roller bearings, and plain bearings, each suited for different applications.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Bearing Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Bearing Engineer, you need a solid background in mechanical engineering principles, materials science, and bearing design, typically supported by an engineering degree. Familiarity with CAD software, finite element analysis tools, and industry standards such as ISO/ABMA is crucial. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help you excel in this role. These qualifications ensure precise bearing selection, reliable performance, and successful collaboration with manufacturing and maintenance teams.

What is the difference between Bearing vs Mechanical Technician?

AspectBearingMechanical Technician
Required CertificationsOften requires certifications in lubrication, bearing installation, or machinery maintenanceTypically requires technical diplomas or certifications in mechanical systems or maintenance
Work EnvironmentPrimarily in manufacturing, industrial, or maintenance settings involving machineryIn factories, workshops, or maintenance facilities working on various mechanical systems
Industry UsageCommonly used in industries like manufacturing, automotive, and heavy machineryWidely used across manufacturing, maintenance, and repair industries

While both Bearing technicians and Mechanical Technicians work in industrial environments, Bearings specialists focus specifically on bearing installation, lubrication, and maintenance. Mechanical Technicians have broader responsibilities involving various mechanical systems. Understanding these differences helps in choosing the right career path or job role.

Centennial, CO • On-site

Full-time

Job description

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.
Build the Systems Driving Supersonic Speed
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.
Role Overview
  • Lead the design, sizing, and development of mainshaft and gearbox bearings for aero gas turbine engines, with a focus on life, load capacity, thermal behavior, and robustness under supersonic mission profiles.
  • Define bearing architecture within the engine (sump layout, support arrangements, preload concepts, fits/clearances, and housings), ensuring compatibility with rotordynamic, structural, and thermal requirements across the operating envelope.
  • Analyze bearing loads and environments using whole-engine rotordynamic and secondary air/oil models, ensuring appropriate margins against fatigue, skidding, smearing, cage distress, and lubrication breakdown.
  • Collaborate closely with aerodynamics, structures, secondary air/oil, and test engineers to integrate bearing and sump module designs seamlessly into the Symphony propulsion system and overall aircraft installation.
  • Develop and refine bearing lubrication and cooling strategies (oil supply, scavenging, jets, nozzles, heat rejection) to meet durability, efficiency, and certification-driven reliability goals.
  • Define and execute bearing-focused test programs (rig, module, and engine-level), including test matrices, instrumentation needs, and acceptance criteria, to validate analytical predictions and accelerate design maturation.
  • Lead failure investigations involving bearings and associated hardware (seals, sump structures, gears), driving data-based corrective actions that improve durability, reduce unplanned downtime, and protect fleet reliability.

The Ideal Candidate
  • Deep expertise in aero gas turbine bearing technologies (ball, roller, angular contact, and damped bearing systems) with a track record of detailed design and successful deployment on flight or engine test hardware.
  • Strong background in bearing analysis methods, including life/vibration/thermal assessment, internal load distribution, contact stress evaluation, and lubrication regime characterization for aviation gas turbines.
  • Proficiency with bearing and rotordynamic simulation tools (e.g., Romax, SKF/Timken tools, XLTRC2/MADYN or similar), used to derive bearing loads, stiffness/damping characteristics, and stability margins.
  • Proven ability to lead cross-disciplinary propulsion teams around bearing-centric work scopes, from concept and trade studies through detailed design, supplier engagement, rig/engine test, and certification support.
  • Adept at troubleshooting bearing-related issues in test or service (e.g., elevated temperatures, vibration signatures, debris indications, cage/liner wear, spalling), and implementing robust design or operational mitigations.
  • Experience with whole-engine structural, thermal, and secondary air/oil modeling in an aviation gas turbine context, with a clear understanding of how these models define the bearing operating environment and margins.

What Will Set You Apart
  • Primary engineering ownership of mainshaft or gearbox bearing systems on a turbofan, turbojet, turboshaft, or APU program, including responsibility for requirements, design, analysis, and qualification.
  • Demonstrated experience developing or qualifying advanced bearing technologies for aerospace (e.g., hybrid ceramic bearings, specialized coatings, squeeze-film dampers, or integrated damped supports).
  • History of introducing new bearing analysis methods, design standards, or test approaches that materially reduced development time or improved durability for gas turbine rotating hardware.
  • Strong first-principles analytical skills applied specifically to bearing and sump module challenges, coupled with a passion for solving complex durability and reliability problems in aviation propulsion.
  • Direct involvement in FAR Part 33 (and/or CS-E) engine certification activities where bearing performance, life, or rotordynamics were key aspects of the compliance narrative.
  • Experience with bearing supply chain and procurement for flight hardware, including writing technical specifications, evaluating vendor designs, supporting qualification plans, and maintaining strategic relationships with major bearing suppliers.
  • Curiosity and drive to push the state of the art in bearing technology for next-generation supersonic and high-performance aero gas turbines.

If you're ready to shape the future of sustainable supersonic travel, Boom is the place where your drive and expertise will make an indelible impact. Come build with us.
Compensation
  • P3 Level - Typically 5 - 10 years of experience - Base salary range: $107,000 - $135,000
  • P4 Level - Typically 10 - 15 years of experience - Base salary range: $133,000 - $169,000
  • P5 Level - Typically 15 + years of experience - Base salary range: $160,000 - $203,000

Actual salaries will vary based on factors including but not limited to location, experience, and performance. The range listed is just one component of Boom's total rewards package for employees.
