9 Boom Supersonic Software Jobs Hiring Near You

Start the Best Work of Your Career at Boom
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.
Turbomachinery Structural Analysis Engineer
Boom Supersonic designed, built, and flew XB-1, the first civil supersonic jet made in America, and has sold Overture, the supersonic airliner, to major airlines. That same team is now building Symphony, the engine that powers Overture, and adapting Superpower, its industrial gas turbine, to power AI data centers.
Not a traditional structural analysis job
Most structures seats mean running someone else's loads through someone else's model on one slice of one component, reporting the margin, and never seeing the part again. This one owns the hardware. You will own structural analysis end to end on rotating and static hardware, loads and boundary conditions through model, margin, and life, and you will be in the cell when the engine runs. Engines here are designed, built, and tested under one roof, so the disk you analyzed in the spring is a part you can put your hands on in the fall.
You will also work with aerodynamicists rather than downstream of them. When a blade misses frequency margin at a mode of interest, the two of you find the tuning solution together instead of trading files.
What you'll do

• Own structural analysis of rotating and static hardware across the engine: disks, blisks, bladed disks, cored blades, shafts, cases, frames, mounts, and joints
• Predict life across the failure modes that matter: disk burst, LCF, HCF, creep, and thermal-mechanical fatigue
• Build the structural and thermal whole-engine models the discipline runs on, and the material models underneath them
• Set frequency margin and clear high-cycle fatigue risk alongside aeromechanics and aero, iterating designs rather than rejecting them
• Right-size the analysis to the question: hand calcs and coarse models when speed is what's needed, high-fidelity and test-correlated work when the risk earns it
• Plan and support engine and rig testing, including instrumentation, being in the cell, and correlating prediction against measurement afterward
• Disposition real hardware: evaluate non-conformances and support redesign on parts that are already built
• Build the tools and automation the discipline depends on, and improve the analysis standards the team works to

You probably have

• Hands-on structural analysis experience on turbomachinery or other rotating hardware, or airframe stress experience plus real appetite for rotating hardware
• Command of the fundamentals: load paths reasoned by hand, boundary conditions you can defend, and the judgment to know when a converged result is still wrong
• Life prediction experience across at least one of LCF, HCF, or creep
• A specialty you're genuinely deep in, and curiosity about the ones you aren't
• Comfort making a sound engineering call before all the information is in, and stating it as a conclusion rather than a hedge

What will set you apart

• Fracture mechanics and damage tolerance experience, including setting or defending an inspection interval
• Rotordynamics depth: critical speeds, bearing stiffness, unbalance response
• Engine or rig test experience: instrumentation planning, clearing vibes, strain gauges or blade tip timing, post-test correlation
• Whole-engine modeling experience
• Part 33 or equivalent certification exposure on life-limited rotating parts
• Real software habits: tools you built that other people still use

Why Boom
Boom's engines are being designed, built, and tested under one roof. The work is hard, the pace is fast, and the standard is high. In return you get real ownership of whole components rather than a slice of one, exceptional teammates across aero, thermal, mechanical design, and test, and hardware you helped analyze running on a test stand in months rather than years.
If you're the kind of engineer who would rather bound it by hand than trust the solver, who states a margin as a conclusion rather than a hedge, who wants to be on the test stand when the answer comes back, and who wants to build something history remembers, apply.
Compensation

• P2 Level - Typically 0 - 4 years of experience - Base salary range: $107,000 - $144,000
• P3 Level - Typically 5 - 10 years of experience - Base salary range: $124,000 - $167,000
• P4 Level - Typically 10 - 15 years of experience - Base salary range: $139,000 - $187,000
• P5 Level - Typically 15 + years of experience - Base salary range: $152,500 - $205,000

Actual compensation 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. Other elements may include long-term incentives/equity, flexible PTO, and a suite of progressive benefits designed to support our employees' well-being and growth.
There is no set deadline to apply for this job opportunity. Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the search is no longer active.
The mission
Engineering roles at Boom are unlike anything else in aerospace or energy: designing a supersonic airliner from first principles, developing advanced propulsion systems, scaling complex hardware programs in a modern manufacturing environment, and building breakthrough industrial turbines to power the next generation of AI data centers.
These aren't jobs. They are career-defining opportunities. Some may even find their calling.
This job is demanding and rewarding
At some companies, you can choose to work long, smart, or hard. At Boom, you'll be doing all three.
You'll move with urgency. You'll manage ambiguity. You'll operate at a high standard. And your work will be visible to company leadership, including the founder. If you want a comfortable engineering role where you run processes and rely on executing procedures defined long ago, look elsewhere.
If you want to be part of a team that could be remembered a century from now, keep reading.
The primary reward of this role is the work itself: partnering with extraordinary people to design and build breakthrough machines. You'll also be well compensated, with competitive cash compensation and meaningful equity grants with significant upside. This is a chance to build more than a product. It's a chance to build a company that history will remember.
Why Boom
Boom is building one of the most ambitious industrial programs of this century. The work is hard, the pace is fast, and the expectations are high.
In return, you'll get real ownership, the chance to work with exceptional teammates, and the opportunity to help build a product line capable of powering the future of supersonic flight and next-generation energy systems.
