Manufacturing Engineer, Engine Assembly

Overview

Boom is building Superpower — a new industrial gas turbine platform designed to redefine performance and efficiency for high-power applications. That means we’re not just designing an engine — we’re building the systems, tooling, and processes to assemble one from scratch. As a Manufacturing Engineer focused on engine assembly, you’ll define how Superpower comes together: how components are staged, assembled, torqued, inspected, and tested.

If you’ve lived inside turbo machinery builds, engine overhauls, or high-stakes mechanical assemblies — this is where you can leave your mark.

• Define and own engine assembly processes for Superpower from first build through production
• Develop assembly sequences, tooling, fixtures, and work instructions
• Capture, document, and continuously refine engine assembly knowledge — translating hard-earned build experience into clear work instructions, build sequences, tooling requirements, and lessons learned that enable repeatable, high-quality assembly.
• Partner with design, quality, and test teams to ensure assemblies meet performance and reliability requirements
• Support hands-on engine builds, troubleshooting fit-up and assembly issues in real time
• Drive continuous improvement in assembly efficiency, quality, and repeatability
• Support engine teardown, inspection, and rebuild activities as designs evolve
• Help scale assembly operations as Superpower moves toward higher-rate production

• Experience as a Manufacturing Engineer supporting engine or turbo machinery assembly
• Hands-on exposure to gas turbine, turbofan, or industrial engine builds
• Strong mechanical intuition and ability to diagnose assembly-related issues
• Comfortable working closely with technicians and test teams during live builds
• Fluent in interpreting drawings, tolerances, and assembly requirements
• Demonstrates a strong work ethic and ambition, complemented by effective collaboration skills in a team setting
• Excels in a high-energy, independent, and challenging work environment
• Calm, methodical approach when things don’t fit the first time (because they won’t)

• Background in engine MRO, prototype engine programs, or first-article builds
• Active or prior FAA Airframe & Powerplant (A&P) certification.
• Experience transitioning engine assembly from prototype to production
