52 aerospace engineering and mechanics jobs found

Fuel and lube systems. Structural hardware. Component testing. Assembly processes built from scratch. At Boom, you'll own some of the hardest mechanical engineering challenges and real hardware - on day one of your career. We hire a small number of early-career engineers and give them a level of ownership that most companies reserve for people with a decade of experience. You won't be supporting someone else's design or waiting your turn. You'll be the engineer of record on systems that matter, making real decisions, and seeing your work turn into hardware. We're building two engines at once: Superpower, a 42 MW gas turbine for AI data centers, and Symphony, a medium-bypass turbofan designed for Mach 1.7 cruise. That means designing mechanical systems that can withstand extreme temperatures, demanding operating conditions, and rapid iteration cycles. There isn't a playbook for what we're building. You'll help create it. This job is demanding and rewarding. This job isn't...

Stall margin on a high-pressure-ratio compressor. Cooling a turbine blade running in a gas path above its own melting point. At Boom, you'll own problems like these in your first year. We hire a small number of early-career engineers and give them more responsibility than their résumés justify. At most companies you'd spend a few years meshing geometry someone else defined and re-running cycle decks someone else scoped before you touch real hardware. Here, entry-level Turbomachinery Engineers get a piece of the machine - a combustor liner, a compressor stage match, the secondary air system that cools the turbine disks, a transient stability or fuel-air mixing problem nobody has solved yet - and are accountable for making it work on the test stand. We're building two engines at once: Superpower, a 42 MW gas turbine for AI data centers, and Symphony, a medium-bypass turbofan designed for Mach 1.7 cruise. Neither is on a schedule that leaves room for waiting your turn. The propulsion...

Infleqtion is a global quantum technology company solving the world's most challenging problems. The company harnesses quantum mechanics to build and integrate quantum computers, sensors, and networks. From fundamental physics to leading edge commercial products, Infleqtion enables "quantum everywhere" through our ecosystem of devices and platforms. Infleqtion is seeking a system-level mechanical engineer to design the infrastructure, mounting, and environmental-survivability architecture that allows our Quantum Gravity Gradiometer (QGG) to transition from the laboratory to both terrestrial and space environments. In this role, the candidate will work the structural mounting, damping, isolation, thermal interfaces, and mechanical integration needed for the QGG sensor head to survive launch, handling, transport, and pre-launch microgravity testing while preserving the precision required for quantum measurement. The role requires close collaboration with our prime customer(s),...

Katalyst Description: Katalyst is an American technology company focused on dynamic space operations. We are building a fleet of dual-use multipurpose robotic space vehicles to create the future where maneuvering, upgrading, refueling, resupply and exploration are as routine as they are on Earth. Getting to space and overcoming the gravity well is only half the story. What you do there is the future. We are not building the trains. We are building the machines that lay down the tracks. By developing the foundational capabilities that make sustained, responsive operations possible, we enable a new era of space exploration that strengthens national security and ensures freedom of action in an increasingly contested domain. Katalyst Culture: Working at Katalyst is intense, hands-on, and deeply rewarding. You'll take real ownership and see your work move from concept to operations in an environment where the problems are hard and the impact is real. We value humility,...

Golden, CO | Full-Time | 12-15 Weeks | Summer 2027 Today, everything we send to space is constrained by what fits inside a rocket fairing. That's a fundamental bottleneck to building more capable spacecraft. Rendezvous Robotics is solving this problem with electromagnetic self-assembling tiles: modular spacecraft components that rendezvous, dock, and latch to assemble bigger and more powerful spacecraft than anything that can be folded to fit into a rocket. We're a small team based in Golden, Colorado, executing on a clear path from flight demonstration to our first operational systems. Our work spans hardware, software, and systems engineering. We are looking for the best people in the world who want to build the next generation of advanced spacecraft. Every unit in our system has to dock, undock, and re-dock repeatedly without wearing, fit together in a manner that allows reliable connections, and provide the stiffness needed to build extremely large structures in orbit. That...
