Start the Best Work of Your Career at Boom

At Boom, we’re building something that’s never been done before — the world’s fastest airliner, designed and built by a small team with outsized impact. Every rivet, bracket, and machined assembly depends on a supply base that can match our pace and precision.

As a Supplier Development Engineer focused on metallic fabrication, you’ll be the technical bridge between Boom and our manufacturing partners — ensuring aerospace-grade quality, on-time delivery, and continuous improvement across the supply chain. You’ll blend hands-on problem solving with high-level coordination, turning challenges into sustained performance gains.

If you thrive at the intersection of engineering, manufacturing, and supplier collaboration — and want to help shape the most advanced metallic supply chain in commercial aviation — this is your seat.

Role Overview

• Represent Boom’s interests externally with people skills to lead through influence and deliver results to ensure on time delivery of components.
• Execute detailed supplier engagement plans to ensure on-time delivery of metallic castings, forgings, machined parts, assemblies, and hardware — spanning high-temperature alloys such as Inconel 625, Inconel 718, and similar nickel-based superalloys — to support Boom’s development and production programs.
• Work both independently and as a key team member to prepare, execute, and evaluate plans for solving manufacturing problems and planning improvements within the supply chain.
• Develop and refine production methods and procedures related to tooling, layout, production flow, assembly techniques, and metal-forming, machining, and joining processes.
• Lead suppliers and internal cross-functional teams through technical problem solving and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Provide technical mentoring to suppliers and Boom teammates, helping elevate problem-solving skills across the organization.
• Build deep, trust-based relationships with manufacturing suppliers and sub-tiers — serving as their on-site technical partner to drive build readiness, resolve issues at the source, and embed standardized root-cause and corrective-action practices that deliver sustained performance improvements.
• Willing to travel 25%-75% often with short notice to respond to issues immediately. The Ideal Candidate
• A Bachelor’s degree in engineering or a related discipline.
• Past job experience as a Supplier Quality Engineer, Supplier Development Engineer or similar in an Aerospace, Automotive, Robotics or similar industry
• Proven ability to lead technical projects, interface directly with suppliers, and drive collaborative solutions in a manufacturing environment.
• Strong understanding of metallic fabrication and inspection methods — including machining, forming, welding, metrology, GD&T and assembly of aerospace structures.
• Exceptional communication skills — able to translate complex technical findings into concise, actionable insights.
• A track record of creating process improvements that stick.
• 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 What Will Set You Apart
• Experience supporting or launching aerospace metallic fabrication programs (e.g., structures, engine components, or precision machined parts).
• Hands-on approach — comfortable on the factory floor diagnosing issues, verifying corrective actions, and guiding suppliers to the true root cause.
• Familiarity with AS9100 quality systems, NADCAP processes, and supplier process qualification.
• Certified problem-solving or lean manufacturing expertise (Six Sigma, Shainin, or equivalent).
• A builder’s mindset — you don’t just identify issues, you architect systems that prevent them. Compensation
