Boom is an equal opportunity employer and we value diversity. All employment is decided on the basis of qualifications, merit and business need. 

• →Own a defined piece of the Materials Process domain – material qualification, investment casing, advanced joining methods, surface coatings, or non-destructive testing – with real accountability for the outcome.
• →Interact not only across disciplines (design, propulsion and manufacturing) but also span our physical spaces from office to lab to shop floor – move from clean sheet to high-performance hardware in hand.
• →Characterize and validate extreme-environment materials designed to withstand the brutal mechanical and thermal stresses of gas turbines and high-Mach flight programs – up to and including allowable programs.
• →Perform rapid failure analysis of testing anomalies using state-of-the-art internal labs, including SEM, to find root-cause and iterate solutions fast via disciplined and documented methodologies.
• →Plan and execute test campaigns; everything from mechanical testing of superalloys for LCF/HCF and creep to DOEs for metallic additive to development testing of novel investment casting technologies.
• →Help scope, procure, install, and commission new equipment - then use it and train others on it

• A degree in Materials Science & Engineering, Metallurgy, Mechanical, Aerospace, or Chemical Engineering – or equivalent hands-on hardware experience.
• At least one internship or co-op where you worked with real-world engineering materials, testing, or process characterization.
• Hands-on lab or shop experience – time operating mechanical test frames, metallographic sample prep equipment, heat-treat furnaces, or additive manufacturing machines. This is required, not a nice-to-have.
• A fundamental understanding of materials behavior – from microstructural strengthening and fatigue failure mechanisms to corrosion resistance and high-temperature oxidation.
• A track record of finishing hard things, inside school and outside of it.

Internships require 100% onsite at Boom's headquarters located at 6803 S Tucson Way, Centennial, CO 80112.
