The Boom Experience: In The Words of Our Employees
People power everything we build.
Boom’s mission to make the world dramatically more accessible doesn’t take off without the people behind it.
It’s not for the faint of heart. This is a place for people who want to move fast, think big, and build things that change the world. We’re not just punching clocks—we’re reimagining what flight can be, and that kind of work demands bold ideas, relentless execution, and a team that knows how to push past possible.
When our teams thrive, so does everything else: our product, our partnerships, and our momentum.
So, what’s it like to work at Boom?
Here are the voices of those designing, testing, questioning, building, breaking, fixing, flying—the ones who make Boom, Boom.
“The best part of working at Boom is the people I get to work with. Everyone is extremely capable and passionate about their work while also being willing to take the time to explain and teach. We’re making history and it shows in the excitement and enthusiasm of everyone at Boom even in the face of challenges.”
Sahil Patel, Software Engineer
“One of my favorite things about Boom is that we’re bringing new competition to a stagnant industry, and we’re hoping to lead with speed.”
Alexander Hatton, Systems Engineer, Electro-Mechanical
“Since I joined Boom two years ago, I’ve had the opportunity to develop Overture aircraft systems, build a flight simulator, participate in a flight test campaign, and now I’m developing an in-house data visualization tool. There are so many exciting things happening here and everyday I’m learning something new—that’s why I love working at Boom! We like to work hard, but also we like to play hard; we have parties, we like to play pickleball together. We even get paid to make team custom stickers!
Chieri Richling, Data Scientist
“One of the things that’s most unique about Boom is the collaborative spirit that our team displays—just regularly. The ability of our team to push bars and boundaries further is so impressive.”
Daniel Driver, Senior Systems Engineer
“What I love most about working at Boom is that no two days are ever the same. Being part of a small but mighty team means we wear a lot of hats, tackle new challenges constantly, and push each other to grow. It’s demanding, but that’s what makes the work so exciting—there’s always something new to solve, build, or improve.”
Anne Bielecki, Senior Director, Manufacturing Strategy Development
“I came to Boom because I wanted to work on something that was groundbreaking and would make a difference in the world. Being a part of this team and culture has been exactly what I’m looking for. Seeing XB-1 go supersonic has been the highlight of my career.”
Adam Hugunine, Systems Flight Test Engineer
