Software Engineering Intern

Denver, Colorado

Help Supersonic Software Take Flight

At Boom, interns dive straight into real aerospace problems—learning by doing alongside the engineers designing our supersonic airliner and the first purpose-built supersonic engine. You won’t be off to the side; you’ll be integrated directly in the teams shaping aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, control laws, and more. You’ll learn their world and apply your software skills to make their work faster, smarter, and safer.

No engineer here wastes time on tasks a computer can do better. Whether it’s shrinking week-long CFD runs, automating control workflows, pulling data together from across disciplines, or developing embedded systems that keep engines running safely, you’ll see how software drives aerospace forward—and you’ll get hands-on experience building those solutions.

Role Overview

As a Software Engineer Intern, you will:

  • Learn and contribute to projects using Python, Golang, Typescript, and systems languages like C++ or Rust
  • Get hands-on with cloud services on AWS (S3, Batch, SQS, ECS, FSx, Lambda) and infrastructure-as-code tools like AWS CDK
  • Build or improve React front-end tools to help engineers visualize and interact with their data
  • Automate repetitive or error-prone workflows so engineers can focus on solving big problems
  • Assist in developing and testing embedded control software for jet engine systems, including simulations and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) environments
  • Contribute to code reviews, unit testing, documentation, and exposure to safety-critical software practices
  • Work directly with aerospace engineers to understand their challenges and help design smarter, faster solutions

The Ideal Candidate

  • One year away from graduation in a Bachelor’s or Master’s program in Aerospace, Mechanical, Systems, or Structural Engineering (or similar)
  • Strong coding experience in at least one language such as Python, Golang, Typescript, C, C++, or Rust
  • Familiarity with version control tools (e.g., Git) and structured software development workflows
  • Strong communicator who thrives in collaborative, cross-disciplinary environments
  • Detail-oriented, motivated, and excited to learn through hands-on software and data applications
  • 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

  • Exposure to data-heavy workflows, numerical simulations, or scientific computing
  • A knack for automation—you see manual work and immediately think “could I script that?”
  • Side projects, class projects, or a GitHub repo that show you can build useful tools
  • Passion for aviation, propulsion, and building software and data tools that make complex systems work

Education & Experience

  • Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field
  • Coursework or project experience in embedded systems, robotics, control software, real-time programming, or cloud-native development

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection.

Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
