Most engines take a decade and a billion dollars to develop. We are building ours differently.\nAt Boom we are developing Symphony - the engine that will power Overture, the world's fastest airliner and Superpower, the natural gas turbine and revenue engine that fuels our endeavors while unblocking next-gen AI data centers. We are building it in Denver, at a pace and cost point the industry says is impossible, because the industry has forgotten what's possible.\nWe are hiring a Mechanical Engineer, Machined Parts to own modules of the engine end-to-end: concept, design, drawings, supplier interface, first article, assembly, and test integration. You will not hand a drawing to \"manufacturing.\" You aremanufacturing - and design, and supply chain, and the test stand tech you brought a coffee to this morning. You will delete parts. You will simplify interfaces. You will put your hands on hardware. And when your module fires on the test stand, it will fire because you made it fire.\nWhat you'll do\nOwn a module of the Superpower engine - turbomachinery, mechanical systems, or structures/integration - from requirements through test.\nDrive design decisions that minimize part count, simplify assembly, and shorten the path from drawing to hardware.\nLive at the interface between design and fabrication: work directly with our in-house shop and external suppliers to get parts made right, fast, and on budget.\nIntegrate your hardware onto test stands. Watch it run. Break it. Fix it. Ship the next rev.\nRaise the bar on everyone around you.\nYou probably have\nA degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, or Manufacturing Engineering - or equivalent hands-on experience. The degree field is less important than manufacturing exposure; we hire build engineers with robotics, and biomedical backgrounds.\nReal DFM/DFA intuition - you can look at a part and see how it will be made.\nHands-on experience turning a design into actual hardware, preferably in a high-consequence environment (aerospace, automotive at scale, defense, energy, race cars, robotics).\nA track record of making things simpler, cheaper, and faster to build.\nYou will thrive here if\nYou believe the shop floor is the most interesting room in the building.\nYou are equally comfortable talking to the machinist making your part as the CFD or FEA analyst who set the requirements - and you understand the \"why\" on both ends.\nYou have strong opinions, held loosely, and you'd rather change your mind today than defend a bad idea for six months.\nWe are not the right place for engineers who want to own a requirements document, ship CAD over the wall, and let someone else figure out how to build it. We are exactly the right place for engineers who want to go home at night knowing their part exists because of them.\nWhat is it REALLY like to work at Boom?Find out here.\nCompensation\nP2 Level - Typically 0 - 4 years of experience - Base salary range: $125,000 - $158,000\nP3 Level - Typically 5 - 10 years of experience - Base salary range: $145,000 - $184,000\nP4 Level - Typically 10 - 15 years of experience - Base salary range: $162,000 - $205,000\nActual salaries will vary based on factors including but not limited to location, experience, and performance. The range listed is just one component of Boom’s total rewards package for employees. Other rewards may include long-term incentives/equity, a flexible PTO policy, and many other progressive benefits.\nThere is no set deadline to apply for this job opportunity. Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the search is no longer active.\nITAR Requirement\nTo conform to U.S. Government aerospace technology export regulations (ITAR and EAR), applicant 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.Learn more about ITAR here.\nBoom is an equal opportunity employer, including for individuals with disabilities and protected veterans. We are building a culture of merit and excellence.\nWant to build a faster future?
