Hardware Quality Engineer
About The Position
Boom Supersonic is building the Overture supersonic airliner and the Superpower gas turbine. This role exists to build the system that makes inspection credible, repeatable, and scalable. This is not a traditional quality architect role where you inherit a system. Instead, you will be building the architecture from scratch, including inspection standards, reports, traceability framework, nonconformance process, and calibration program, while hardware is actively moving through the shop. This job is demanding, requiring you to build the system that handles failures and nonconformances without slowing down the shop or creating bureaucracy. It requires technical depth, judgment, and the ability to earn credibility on the floor.
Requirements
- Experience as a quality engineer in an aerospace, defense, or precision manufacturing environment
- A track record of building quality processes, not just running them
- Strong GD&T fundamentals and the ability to develop inspection plans from drawings independently
- Familiarity with AS9100 or similar quality management frameworks
- Experience speccing and procuring inspection equipment
- The ability to work directly with machinists, programmers, and engineers — and hold your ground when the data says something nobody wants to hear
- 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.
Nice To Haves
- CMM programming experience is a plus.
Responsibilities
- Define how parts get inspected — from receiving through in-process checks to final inspection — and build the processes that make it repeatable
- Develop the inspection report format, traceability framework, and nonconformance workflow that the quality system runs on
- Work directly with our inspection team to establish standards for how inspection programs are built, documented, and handed off
- Identify gaps in our current inspection capability, spec the equipment needed to close them, and make the business case to procure it
- Establish how we handle parts that leave for outside processing — heat treat, coating — and what gets verified when they come back
- Build toward AS9100 compliance from day one — architecting processes today that don't need to be rebuilt later
Benefits
- long-term incentives/equity
- a flexible PTO policy
- many other progressive benefits
