Jobs at Boom Supersonic

3

We are seeking a skilled Aerodynamics Engineer to join a small, fast moving team developing a new supersonic commercial aircraft. Role responsibilities include all aspects of external aerodynamics, including grid generation, execution and analysis of CFD results and wind tunnel testing. Technical proficiency is expected in at least one of these areas. As part of the Aerodynamics group, you will work with flight controls, structures, and CAD experts at Boom. The successful candidate will be proficient automating analysis procedures to maximize productivity through scripting. This role requires experience working with at least one viscous CFD code. But you are not merely a tool user—you have a deep grasp of fundamental flow physics. You know where the air goes and why. You will have a track record of demonstrated application of your knowledge and abilities with grid generation, execution and post-processing. Candidates are expected to apply aerodynamic design principles to the design process. The ideal candidate will be able to demonstrate that they have applied their skills in practice, and will demonstrate best practices in each area in which they have expertise.

Boom is looking for an exceptionally talented Software Engineer to lead the development, integration and testing of the flight software for the XB-1. As part of the small team you will own the flight critical software development, telemetry integration, flight simulator software development, and software and hardware in the loop testing. The role requires working closely with the aircraft systems engineers and test pilots.

An ideal candidate has a track record of building and leading world class technical teams through solving hard problems, is highly-regarded as a project manager by their peers, and seeks out opportunities to partner across disciplines to achieve the best overall results. They have strong prior experience in multiple areas of aerodynamics, a strong grasp of flow physics (not just math), and the ability to share their intuition of real flows with others.
