Summer 2027 Engineering and Tech Internship

Summer 2027 Engineering and Tech Internship

Most engineering internships teach you how products are built.

At Boom, you help build them.

Boom Supersonic is building Overture, the world's fastest airliner, and Superpower, an industrial gas turbine built on the same core technology that advances our supersonic engine program.

We believe the best engineering internships don't happen on the sidelines. They happen where real engineering is getting done.

This is not a traditional internship.

You won't sit quietly in meetings, take notes, or shadow from the sidelines. As a Boom intern, you will be embedded directly within core teams, tackling real, high-stakes engineering problems. Working alongside best-in-class engineers, you'll take on more responsibility and ownership than anywhere else in the industry. You’ll leave knowing your work actively pushed history forward.

This program isn't for everyone. You are built for Boom if:

• You have a track record of building:
  You've built real hardware independently, led a competitive design team, or executed high-impact work during past roles that most engineers don't touch for years.
• You crave ownership, not hand-holding:
  You get uncomfortable waiting for answers and prefer diving headfirst into complex, ambiguous problems.
• You thrive under high stakes:
  When a problem gets harder, your drive goes up, not down.
• You're drawn to execution:
  The shop floor, lab, or test stand sounds significantly more exciting to you than a conference room.

When applying, select the discipline below that best matches your background and passion:

Materials & Manufacturing
Processes: You'll work on the materials and processes that go into Superpower, Boom's gas turbine engine. That means hands‑on involvement in material selection, process development, lab categorization and coupon‑to‑part testing for the high‑performance alloys that make an engine possible. Own the whole process from ingot to forged disks and single crystal castings.

Ideal Candidate:

• Solid fundamentals in material science of metallics and ceramics, with knowledge of the strengthening mechanisms of nickel superalloys and the thermal processing of ceramics both as coatings and molds.
• Hands‑on experience in an M&P lab to test, categorize and evaluate high performance materials including creep and LCF testing and metallography of superalloys.
• Exposure to and experience running the machines for advanced processes including printing nickel superalloys and fabricating ceramics to support investment casting.

You'll support the production processes turning Superpower's designs into real hardware. That means hands‑on work across engine assembly, machining, tooling, and process development as the program builds toward production. You won't observe – you'll own a piece of it.

Ideal Candidate:

• Hands‑on manufacturing experience – time in a machine shop, on an assembly line, or building real hardware. This is required, not a nice‑to‑have.
• Familiarity with machining processes, tooling, work instructions, or quality control in a production or R&D environment.
• Genuine curiosity about how complex hardware comes together – and how to make it come together better, faster, and more reliably.

You’ll help design, build, and validate the electrical or control systems that bring Superpower to life. That includes instrumentation, controls, wiring architecture, and test systems that generate the data needed to develop Superpower. Your work will connect hardware, software, and test, turning ideas into reliable systems.

Ideal Candidate:

• Experience designing, integrating, or testing electrical systems, whether through internships, research, Formula SAE, personal projects, or industry experience.
• Familiarity with electrical design, controls, instrumentation, embedded systems, or hardware integration.
• Someone who enjoys debugging complex systems and is energized by seeing hardware come to life.

You’ll help define how Superpower comes together. This team is responsible for translating requirements into an integrated system, balancing performance, reliability, manufacturability, and testability while…
