Boom Supersonic's mission is to make the world dramatically more accessible through a renaissance in supersonic flight. Boom is developing the Symphony supersonic engine, which powers the Overture supersonic airliner and the Superpower natural gas turbine for AI. Overture will fly at twice the speed of today's subsonic jets over water and 50% faster over land with Boomless Cruise.
Role OverviewAs part of the Propulsion Team, you will:
- Work on the design features covering all the mechanically dynamic phenomena in the engine, including loads, actuation, rotordynamics, failure scenarios, and more
- 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
- Work on all mechanical aspects of the engine, including fits, seals, mounts, joints and other components
- Implement plans for assembly and disassembly for both development and production
- 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!
