No H1B
U.S. Citizen Only
Responsibilities
Design, stand up, and scale Boom’s internal machining operation with a focus on process, flow, and execution, not just equipment
Define shop operating rhythms, standard work, and manufacturing execution structures to support rapid iteration and increasing production rate
Own manufacturing readiness for machined parts: routing, revision control, tool availability, inspection strategy, and build sequencing
Lead 5S and cell design efforts to create efficient, repeatable machining workflows that scale to rate production
Partner directly with machinists and quality personnel to develop machining and inspection strategies for complex parts
Drive real-time resolution of machining, quality, and throughput issues on the shop floor
Own design for manufacturing and work hand in hand with engineering to make parts faster
Develop fixturing, tooling, and workholding strategies to enable repeatable, high-quality machining
Support New Product Introduction (NPI) as parts transition from prototype builds to sustained internal production
Qualification
Required
Experience as a Manufacturing Engineer in a machining-heavy environment
Strong understanding of CNC machining processes, materials, and shop-floor realities
Proven focus on process definition, flow, and execution, not just individual machine capability
Strong background interpreting engineering drawings and applying GD&T (ASME Y14.5)
Hands-on experience designing fixtures and tooling
Familiarity with CAM systems at a practical level (e.g., reviewing toolpaths, checking for collisions, understanding setup intent)
Comfortable living on the shop floor and in design reviews — often in the same hour
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
To conform to U.S. Government aerospace technology export regulations (ITAR and EAR), applicant must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State
Preferred
Experience standing up or scaling an internal machining operation
Hands-on experience with 5-axis machining
Direct experience with airfoil manufacturing or turbomachinery components
Exposure to automation — PLCs, relays, solenoids, basic robotics, macros or automated cells
Experience leading New Product Introduction (NPI) for machined hardware
Strong intuition for how design decisions impact manufacturability, throughput, and cost
A bias toward building clean, organized, and scalable manufacturing systems — not heroics
Experience with CAM software such as Mastercam, ESPRIT, Hypermill, etc
Benefits
Long-term incentives/equity
A flexible PTO policy
Many other progressive benefits
