At Skyways, we are building the next generation of autonomous air transportation. Our fully autonomous unmanned aircraft systems move cargo faster and more efficiently than traditional logistics networks.
Backed by strong investor support and a $37M STRATFI contract from the U.S. Air Force, we operate at the intersection of commercial logistics and national defense. Our aircraft are not just prototypes—we design, build, fly, and deploy them with real customers today.
Based in Austin and supported by investors including Y Combinator, Skyways combines rapid engineering iteration with real-world operations. As we scale toward larger deployments, we are looking for people who want to help build and operate the future of autonomous aviation.
Skyways is hiring Mechanical Engineers to help design and build the physical systems that make our aircraft fly. Engineers in this role work directly with hardware and see their designs move quickly from concept to prototype, aircraft integration, ground testing, and flight.
You will design components, support aircraft builds, and help test and improve hardware based on real world performance. The role sits close to manufacturing and flight operations, giving engineers direct feedback on how their designs perform in the field.
This role is a strong fit for engineers who enjoy building real hardware and iterating quickly through the full design, build, and test cycle.
