Senior Quality Engineer

Overview Boom Supersonic is building the Overture supersonic airliner and the Superpower gas turbine — machines that require some of the most demanding manufacturing in modern industry. That only works if the hardware meets design intent. Right now, we have the inspection capability to check parts. What we don't have is the system that makes inspection credible, repeatable, and scalable. That's what this role exists to build. Not a traditional quality engineering role At most companies, a quality engineer inherits a system — procedures, reports, calibration programs, nonconformance workflows. They learn how it works and keep it running. This is not that job. We have an inspection team executing inspection work and machinists making hardware. What we don\'t have is the architecture that sits above it — the inspection standards, the reports, the traceability framework, the nonconformance process, the calibration program. You\'re building that layer from scratch, and you\'re doing it while hardware is actively moving through the shop. This job is demanding You will walk into a shop where good work is being done but the quality system around it is underdeveloped. There will be parts that fail inspection and no established process for what happens next. Your job is to build the system that handles all of that — without slowing the shop down or creating bureaucracy that gets in the way of building hardware. That requires technical depth, judgment, and the ability to earn credibility on the floor rather than enforce compliance from a desk. You probably have Experience as a quality engineer in an aerospace, defense, or precision manufacturing environment A track record of building quality processes, not just running them Strong GD&T fundamentals and the ability to develop inspection plans from drawings independently Familiarity with AS9100 or similar quality management frameworks Experience speccing and procuring inspection equipment The ability to work directly with machinists, programmers, and engineers — and hold your ground when the data says something nobody wants to hear CMM programming experience is a plus. It\'s not a requirement Why Boom Boom is building one of the most ambitious industrial programs of this century. The work is hard, the pace is fast, and the expectations are high. In return, you\'ll get real ownership over a quality system built from the ground up, direct impact on hardware that matters, and the opportunity to architect the inspection infrastructure behind a supersonic aircraft and next-generation turbine.
