Manufacturing Engineer

Start the Best Work of Your Career at Boom

At Boom, we’re developing a supersonic airliner—and delivering on that vision takes more than bold ideas. It takes a hands-on, fast-moving R&D operation that can turn designs into real, testable hardware. We’re standing up a new machine shop and prototyping space to do exactly that. That’s where you come in.

We’re looking for a Manufacturing Engineer to support the buildout of this new capability—equipping our team with the tools, workflows, and production muscle needed to fabricate and assemble advanced components in-house. From standing up 5-axis CNC capability to developing manufacturing process flow, you’ll help shape the prototyping engine behind Boom’s next breakthroughs.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role at the intersection of design, manufacturing, and test. If you love building the infrastructure that makes complex hardware possible—and thrive in a fast-moving, execution focused environment—we want to work with you.

Role Overview

• Stand up and scale a new machine shop with advanced CNC capability (5-axis)


• Build and evolve Boom’s R&D manufacturing and prototyping area from the ground up


• Design tooling and fixtures for fabrication, machining, and assembly


• Review and approve engineering models and drawings for manufacturability


• Collaborate with design engineers to influence and guide design-for-manufacturing


• Coordinate materials sourcing with the supply chain team to enable builds on time and on budget


• Work side-by-side with technicians and engineers to bring tools and parts to life

The Ideal Candidate

• Experience in manufacturing engineering or a closely related role


• Deep understanding of NC machining


• Fluent in reading and interpreting complex technical drawings


• Proficient in CAD (for fixture and tooling design) and experienced with ASME Y14.5 GD&T


• Strong grasp of production quality systems and documentation


• Comfortable in both design reviews and on the shop floor—able to move seamlessly between them


• Clear, direct communicator across technical and operational teams


• Highly organized with a strong attention to detail

What Will Set You Apart

• Hands-on capability in machining, metal fab, or mechanical assembly


• Familiarity with laser trackers, measurement arms, or other metrology systems


• Track record of standing up new manufacturing spaces, shops, or toolsets from scratch


• Comfort operating in an R&D-heavy environment with evolving requirements

Compensation

The Base Salary Range for this position is $99,000 - $125,000 per year. Actual salaries will vary based on factors including but not limited to location, experience, and performance.
