Metallurgy Lab information

What is the difference between Metallurgy Lab vs Metallurgical Technician?

AspectMetallurgy LabMetallurgical Technician
CredentialsTypically requires a degree in materials science, metallurgy, or related fieldOften requires an associate degree or certification in metallurgy or materials testing
Work EnvironmentLaboratory setting with testing and analysis of metals and alloysLaboratory or manufacturing environment assisting with testing and data collection
Industry UsageUsed by research institutions, manufacturing companies, and quality control labsEmployed in manufacturing plants, quality assurance, and testing facilities

While both roles involve working with metals and testing, the Metallurgy Lab typically refers to the laboratory environment focused on detailed analysis and research, often requiring higher education. The Metallurgical Technician supports testing processes, assisting with data collection and analysis in industrial settings. Both roles are essential in metallurgy but differ mainly in education requirements and scope of responsibilities.

Job description

This job is demanding and rewarding.

This job isn't for everyone. You're the right person if:

  • You've done something extraordinary early – built and characterized real hardware, led a competition team (Formula SAE, Baja, Rocketry) focusing on advanced materials, or done M&P lab work in an internship that most engineers don't see for years.
  • You love building and want to work long, smart, and hard to create things that have real impact.
  • You want ownership, not guidance.
  • You get more energized when a problem gets harder, not less.
  • You're uncomfortable waiting for someone else to find the answer.
  • The metallurgy lab, the cleanroom, and the shop floor sound more interesting to you than a conference room.
What You'll Do
  • Own a defined piece of the Materials Process domain – material qualification, investment casing, advanced joining methods, surface coatings, or non-destructive testing – with real accountability for the outcome.
  • Interact not only across disciplines (design, propulsion and manufacturing) but also span our physical spaces from office to lab to shop floor – move from clean sheet to high-performance hardware in hand.
  • Characterize and validate extreme-environment materials designed to withstand the brutal mechanical and thermal stresses of gas turbines and high-Mach flight programs – up to and including allowable programs.
  • Perform rapid failure analysis of testing anomalies using state-of-the-art internal labs, including SEM, to find root-cause and iterate solutions fast via disciplined and documented methodologies.
  • Plan and execute test campaigns; everything from mechanical testing of superalloys for LCF/HCF and creep to DOEs for metallic additive to development testing of novel investment casting technologies.
  • Help scope, procure, install, and commission new equipment - then use it and train others on it
You Probably Have
  • A degree in Materials Science & Engineering, Metallurgy, Mechanical, Aerospace, or Chemical Engineering – or equivalent hands-on hardware experience.
  • At least one internship or co-op where you worked with real-world engineering materials, testing, or process characterization.
  • Hands-on lab or shop experience – time operating mechanical test frames, metallographic sample prep equipment, heat-treat furnaces, or additive manufacturing machines. This is required, not a nice-to-have.
  • A fundamental understanding of materials behavior – from microstructural strengthening and fatigue failure mechanisms to corrosion resistance and high-temperature oxidation.
  • A track record of finishing hard things, inside school and outside of it.

Engineers who want to spend their first year doing work that actually matters should apply.

Work Location

Internships require 100% onsite at Boom's headquarters located at 6803 S Tucson Way, Centennial, CO 80112.

Compensation

The Base Salary Range for this position is $87,000 - $117,000 per year. 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. Other rewards may include long-term incentives/equity, a flexible PTO policy, and many other progressive benefits. Additional perks include on-site meals and gym access.

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. Due to the nature of this position, candidates must be eligible to access export-controlled information and technology as required by applicable U.S. export control laws. Learn more about ITAR here.

Boom is an equal opportunity employer and we value diversity. All employment is decided on the basis of qualifications, merit and business need.
