Compressor Aerodynamics Lead

Join Boom Supersonic

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.

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.

As a Compressor Design Engineer, you'll work shoulder to shoulder with aircraft designers, systems leads, and test engineers to architect the front end of Symphony—from concept through certification. You'll design, optimize, and build high-performance fan and compression systems that make supersonic travel possible. And you'll be there when it all comes together—when the Symphony prototype roars to life on the test stand this year, and takes flight just a few years from now.

If you're the kind of engineer who chases understanding, thrives in the unknown, and gets energy from building what's never been built—you'll fit right in.

• Bachelor's or Master's in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering or related field
• Proficiency in Python or similar programming languages
• Design experience in axial turbo machinery (including meanline and 3D steady and unsteady CFD)
• Ability to navigate through CAD to support module integration efforts in the engine
• Experience with high speed compressor airfoil design and tuning
• Experience working with engine cycle analysis tools such as NPSS or Py Cycle
• Willingness to both speak and listen, to give opinions and receive opinions, to consider all the data and be part of building the team consensus to move forward

• Component or module ownership experience in a turbo machinery program or product
• Supersonic jet engine design experience
• Part 33 commercial certification experience
• Aerodynamics or Structures lead on the development of high speed and highly loaded turbo machinery
• Airfoil tuning and aero-mechanics related analysis such as unsteady mutli-blade row CFD, flutter analysis
• Experience with operability analysis and assessment at the engine level
• Experience analyzing secondary flow systems inside engines
• Background in developing design tools, methods or processes
• Testing and data-reduction experience
• Experience with Axstream or ADS turbo machinery software
• A strong desire to avoid bureaucracy and move fast in a dynamic environment

We're hiring at multiple levels of experience—whether you're early in your career or bring decades of design expertise, we'd love to hear from you.
