Manufacturing Engineer, Engine Assembly

Boom Supersonic•Centennial, CO

6d•$120,000 - $151,000

About The Position

Boom is building Superpower — a new industrial gas turbine platform designed to redefine performance and efficiency for high-power applications. That means we’re not just designing an engine — we’re building the systems, tooling, and processes to assemble one from scratch. As a Manufacturing Engineer focused on engine assembly, you’ll define how Superpower comes together: how components are staged, assembled, torqued, inspected, and tested. If you’ve lived inside turbomachinery builds, engine overhauls, or high-stakes mechanical assemblies — this is where you can leave your mark. Role Overview Define and own engine assembly processes for Superpower from first build through production Develop assembly sequences, tooling, fixtures, and work instructions Capture, document, and continuously refine engine assembly knowledge — translating hard-earned build experience into clear work instructions, build sequences, tooling requirements, and lessons learned that enable repeatable, high-quality assembly. Partner with design, quality, and test teams to ensure assemblies meet performance and reliability requirements Support hands-on engine builds, troubleshooting fit-up and assembly issues in real time Drive continuous improvement in assembly efficiency, quality, and repeatability Support engine teardown, inspection, and rebuild activities as designs evolve Help scale assembly operations as Superpower moves toward higher-rate production

Requirements

Experience as a Manufacturing Engineer supporting engine or turbomachinery assembly
Hands-on exposure to gas turbine, turbofan, or industrial engine builds
Strong mechanical intuition and ability to diagnose assembly-related issues
Comfortable working closely with technicians and test teams during live builds
Fluent in interpreting drawings, tolerances, and assembly requirements
Demonstrates a strong work ethic and ambition, complemented by effective collaboration skills in a team setting
Excels in a high-energy, independent, and challenging work environment
Calm, methodical approach when things don’t fit the first time (because they won’t)

Nice To Haves

Background in engine MRO, prototype engine programs, or first-article builds
Active or prior FAA Airframe & Powerplant (A&P) certification.
Experience transitioning engine assembly from prototype to production
