At Boom, our remarkably small team built the groundbreaking XB-1 supersonic jet and designed the world's fastest airliner Overture. What made it possible? Exceptional people-driven, curious, and committed to building what's never been built before. Now, we're applying that same approach to Symphony-the first jet engine purpose-built for sustainable supersonic flight. It will be the fastest development of a large-scale propulsion system in aviation history, and our engine mechanical design team is at the heart of it. As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you'll work shoulder to shoulder with aircraft designers, systems leads, and test engineers to architect the mechanical systems of Symphony-from concept through certification. You'll design, optimize, and build the engine mechanical 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.

  • Own the design features covering all the mechanically dynamic phenomena in the engine, including loads, actuation, rotordynamics, failure scenarios, and more
  • Develop technically sound design solutions to get Symphony turbofan in the air as fast as possible
  • Interpret, define and review tolerances and features on part drawings
  • Create physical layouts, models, and general arrangements of modules and whole engines such as 2D cross sections, 3D models, tolerance stackups, etc.
  • Contribute to the creation of whole engine models that incorporate structures, rotors, ducts, services routing, actuation, secondary air systems and thermal management
  • Collaborate on specifications and design requirements for each module and help lead cross discipline integration efforts
  • Act as the technical owner for all mechanical aspects of the engine, including fits, seals, mounts, joints and other components
  • Develop and implement plans for assembly and disassembly for both development and production
  • Get involved in all aspects of Symphony engine development and Overture propulsion system integration, including fabrication and testing
  • Bachelor's or Master's in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering or related field
  • Expert-level experience with CAD systems such as 3DX, Catia or NX
  • Expertise in Geometrics Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T)
  • Familiarity with a variety of manufacturing techniques used in gas turbine production (single crystal casting, hollow core fan blades, linear friction welding, additive manufacturing, etc.)
  • Leadership experience in designing turbomachinery modules and parts, as well as throughout different phases of a program
  • Ability to clearly think through and communicate coupled engine and aircraft system level interactions
  • 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
  • Rig testing or engine testing experience
  • Supersonic jet engine design experience
  • Part 33 commercial certification experience
  • Experience with parametric modeling and PLM/PDM
  • Knowledge of heat transfer and structural analyses
