CNC Programmer

Boom Supersonic's mission is to make the world dramatically more accessible through a renaissance in supersonic flight. Boom is developing the Symphony supersonic engine, which powers the Overture supersonic airliner and the Superpower natural gas turbine for AI. Overture will fly at twice the speed of today's subsonic jets over water and 50% faster over land with Boomless Cruise.

Start the Best Work of Your Career at Boom

Standing up a new machine shop from scratch isn't about business as usual-it's about building the backbone of how we design, cut, and deliver hardware at supersonic speed. At Boom, we're bringing CNC programming capability in-house so we can iterate faster, verify programs in process, and adapt on the fly.

This is not a role where you inherit proven toolpaths and push "go." You'll be programming complex aerospace parts, testing your work on the floor, and shaping the standards for how Boom machines everything from prototypes to production hardware.

Role Overview

• Develop CNC programs for 5-axis mills, mill-turn, and multi-spindle equipment.
• Validate and optimize programs directly at the machine, ensuring tight feedback between virtual programming and real-world cutting.
• Partner with machinists, NC programmers, and engineers to translate design intent into efficient, high-precision toolpaths.
• Establish workflows, revision control, and programming standards as Boom scales its machining capability.
• Support rapid prototyping and adapt programs quickly as engineering designs evolve.
• Build and maintain robust tool libraries, workholding strategies, and process documentation.
• Mentor less experienced programmers and machinists, sharing best practices and developing team capability.
