CMM 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 We’re building Superpower — an industrial gas turbine designed to power the next wave of AI infrastructure. It’s ambitious, fast-moving, and hardware-heavy. Superpower is built from high-consequence hardware — precision castings, machined turbomachinery, complex assemblies — and quality is what turns design intent into engine reality. At Boom, quality isn’t a back-end function — it’s a force multiplier. As we stand up and scale our internal manufacturing capability, we need a CMM Programmer who can bridge inspection and engineering. Someone who can program and run CMMs, build inspection plans from first principles, generate audit-ready reports, and help define the metrology capability required to support a production engine program. Role Overview Program and operate CMMs for first-article, in-process, and final inspections Create and debug inspection routines directly from 3D CAD models and 2D engineering drawings Interpret and apply GD&T per ASME Y14.5 to real-world aerospace hardware Develop inspection plans and methods for fabricated and machined components Generate clear, audit-ready inspection reports and support customer-facing quality documentation Work shoulder-to-shoulder with machinists and manufacturing engineers to resolve nonconformances and improve part quality Support root cause analysis and corrective actions tied to dimensional or process escapes Identify gaps in inspection capability and help specify, procure, and commission new metrology equipment Help stand up and refine in-process and final inspection workflows as we scale production Maintain calibration and readiness of CMMs and other metrology equipment The Ideal Candidate Strong experience programming and operating CMMs (Verisurf, PC-DMIS, Calypso, or Zeiss a plus) Fluent in GD&T, blueprint reading, and CAD model interpretation per ASME Y14.5 Experience inspecting tight-tolerance aerospace or high-precision machined components Comfortable building inspection plans, generating first-article and final inspection reports, and supporting AS9100 documentation Able to identify inspection capability gaps and help specify and procure new metrology equipment Hands-on background in machining, fabrication, or shop-floor manufacturing environments Comfortable using standard metrology tools — micrometers, indicators, height gages, surface plates 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 What Will Set You Apart Experience establishing or certifying inspection processes in AS9100 or NADCAP environments Experience standing up or scaling internal metrology labs Deep understanding of inspection strategy for castings, machined components, or turbomachinery hardware Demonstrated ability to move from “we should inspect this” to a fully implemented, production-ready inspection workflow A mindset that sees quality as a competitive advantage — not a compliance exercise Familiar with special process inspection levels (e.g., X-Ray, FPI, Casting, etc) and understands process ownership Compensation The Base Salary Range for this position is $109,000 - $137,000 per year. Actual salaries will vary based on factors including but not limited to location, experience, and performance. The range listed is just one component of Boom’s total rewards package for employees. Other rewards may include long term incentives/equity, a flexible PTO policy, and many other progressive benefits. There is no se ... (truncated, view full listing at source)
