Data Scientist, New Grad

Help Supersonic Software Take Flight

At Boom, small, embedded teams build outsized impact. You’ll join the crew connecting sensors, streaming telemetry, and turning raw data into mission critical analyses powering the Symphony engine program.

As a Data Scientist at Boom, you will be working with the team developing tools and methods that power data acquisition for Boom's engine and aircraft development program. You’ll dive into real-time data visualization, data wrangling, post-test data analysis and even get hands on with hardware. This is a unique opportunity to blend data science with real-world aerospace engineering—building systems that bring supersonic flight closer to reality.

If you’re hungry to learn at the intersection of statistics, software, and engineering—and want to watch your code influence go/no‑go calls—this role is for you.
