Full Job Description

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

Our V2 aircraft carries 30 lbs up to 500 miles, while our next-generation V3 carries 100 lbs over 1,000+ miles with 20+ hours of endurance. 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 operate across three continents in controlled national airspace under FAA oversight and in support of U.S. military operations. We are transitioning from prototype development to full-rate production and scaling toward large autonomous cargo fleets.

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, flight, and the field. You'll build, integrate, and maintain the aircraft themselves: airframe, mechanical systems, wiring, avionics. It all connects, and when something doesn't work, you're the one figuring out why.

Some days you're on the shop floor in Austin. Some days you're at our flight test site. Some days you're traveling to customer sites, keeping aircraft flying where they actually operate. If you want a job where every day looks the same, this isn't it.

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.

What You'll Do:

Build and assemble aircraft structures and systems from the ground up
Install and integrate mechanical, electrical, and avionics systems
Build and route wiring harnesses, perform testing and validation
Fabricate and work with composite parts (one part of the job, not the whole job)
Troubleshoot mechanical and electrical issues during build, integration, and maintenance
Support ground and flight test prep, including preflight and postflight checks
Travel to customer sites to maintain, repair, and support aircraft in the field
Work across subsystems and understand how they interact, not just your piece
Improve build processes, tooling, and repeatability over time

What You'll Bring:

4+ years turning wrenches on real systems (aircraft, UAVs, vehicles, robotics)
Strong mechanical foundation first, not just composites
Experience working across full systems, not just one area
Electrical experience: harnesses, connectors, testing, basic diagnostics
Ability to read drawings, wiring diagrams, and actually use them
Comfortable troubleshooting without a step-by-step playbook
Willingness to travel to customer and flight test sites
High ownership. If something is off, you don't walk past it

Bonus Points:

A&P license
UAS or military aircraft maintenance background
Flight line or flight test support experience
Experience working under FAA or similar standards
Experience in low-rate production or scaling builds
