Manufacturing Engineer

About the Role

Boom Supersonic is building the Overture supersonic airliner and the Superpower gas turbine. This role exists to build a credible, repeatable, and scalable inspection system for demanding manufacturing processes. Entry-level Manufacturing Engineers are handed real scope from day one, owning a section of engine assembly, a machining process, or a tooling problem that doesn't have a solution yet, and are held accountable for the outcome. The manufacturing problems being solved don't have playbooks; you will write them.

Key Responsibilities

• Own a defined piece of the manufacturing operation — engine assembly, machining, tooling, or process development — with real accountability for the outcome.
• Work directly with machinists, technicians, manufacturing engineers, and build engineers to solve problems on the floor.
• Build and improve the processes, work instructions, and tooling that allow complex hardware to come together reliably.
• Partner with design engineering to make parts easier to build.
• Iterate fast — figure out what's wrong, fix it, and move on to the next problem.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Mechanical, Manufacturing, Aerospace, or Industrial Engineering degree — or equivalent hands-on experience.
• At least one internship or co-op where you made something real.
• Hands-on manufacturing experience — time in a shop, on a line, or building hardware.
• Genuine curiosity about how things are made and how to best design for performance and manufacturability.
• A track record of finishing hard things, inside school and outside of it.

Qualifications

• You've done something extraordinary early — built real hardware independently, led a competition team that actually competed, or done work in an internship that most engineers don't see for years.
• You love building and want to work long, smart, and hard to create things that have real impact.
• You want ownership, not guidance.
• You get more energized when a problem gets harder, not less.
• You're uncomfortable waiting for someone else to find the answer.
• The shop floor sounds more interesting to you than a conference room.

Compensation

• Base Salary Range: $81,000 - $103,000 per year.
• Actual salaries will vary based on factors including but not limited to location, experience, and performance.
• Total rewards package may include long-term incentives/equity, a flexible PTO policy, and other benefits.

ITAR Requirement

• 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.
