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 structural team is at the heart of it.
As a Structural Design Engineer, you'll work shoulder to shoulder with aircraft designers, systems leads, and test engineers to architect the structure of Symphony—from concept through certification. You'll design, optimize, and build the engine structural 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.
Role Overview
As part of the Propulsion Team, you will:
Lead the structural and stress engineering domains for the Symphony turbofan engine, including static and rotating components Take ownership of the structural metrics by routinely executing structural & life assessments using applicable analytical methods and analyses (FEA) Develop and integrate toolchains and processes, including multi-disciplinary workflows and automation Beyond these specific things, there are many opportunities to get involved in all aspects of Symphony engine development and Overture propulsion system integration, including fabrication and testing. Bring your curiosity!
Ideal Candidate
Bachelor's or Master's in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering or related field Proficiency in Python or similar programming languages Experience in structural assessments in rotating and non-rotating components for the axial turbomachinery applications (Goodman diagram, Campbell diagram, etc.) Analytical and experimental experiences with analyzing different fatigue phenomena, such as flutter, HCF, LCF, thermo-mechanical fatigue, etc. Expertise in various analytical tools and methods such as ANSYS Mechanical / NASTRAN Collaborate with aero, thermal, SAS to find the right structural solutions that meet all loads and failure mode cases Ability to navigate through CAD to support module integration efforts in the engine 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
What Will Set You Apart
Component or module ownership experience in a turbomachinery program or product Experience with engine rig tests, bearings, or rotordynamics Knowledge of engine mounts and dynamic load scenarios such as fan blade failure and sustained imbalance under windmilling Supersonic jet engine design experience Part 33 commercial certification experience Experience working with advanced materials such as superalloys Experience simulating impact dynamics in tools such as LS-DYNA Experience with developing tools that incorporate structures analysis into multi-discipline analysis and design workflows (MDAO) Background in developing design tools, methods or processes Testing and data-reduction experience 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.
Compensation
The Base Salary Range for this position is $160,000 - $203,000 per year. Actual 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.
There 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.
ITAR Requirement
To 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 .
