Job description

Skyways designs, builds, and operates fully autonomous long range cargo aircraft. Founded in 2017, the company has spent nearly a decade developing and deploying autonomous logistics systems for real world operations.

Our V2 aircraft carries 30 lbs up to 500 miles, and V3 has a maximum range of well over 1,000 miles, a maximum useful load of 100 lbs, and a maximum endurance of nearly 20 hours. Both use a hybrid electric architecture that takes off like a helicopter and cruises like a plane, enabling long range autonomous delivery without traditional runway infrastructure.

Today, Skyways aircraft fly revenue missions for commercial customers across three continents. We are scaling full rate production and building toward large fleets of autonomous cargo aircraft.

Backed by Y Combinator and a $37M AFWERX STRATFI award from the U.S. Air Force, Skyways is creating a new form of transportation to advance our civilization from Austin, Texas.

The Opportunity

This role sits between manufacturing and flight. You’ll be on the shop floor building and integrating aircraft, then working through issues that show up when systems come together. Mechanical, electrical, avionics. It all connects, and when something doesn’t work, you’re the one figuring out why.Some days are clean builds.

Some days are troubleshooting something that should work but doesn’t.

If you’ve only worked from perfect instructions, this will feel uncomfortable. If you’ve actually had to figure things out, you’ll do well here.
