Skyways designs, builds, and operates fully autonomous long-range cargo aircraft. We have been flying real missions with real customers since 2017.
Our V2 carries 30 lbs up to 500 miles and our V3 carries 100 lbs over 1,000 miles with 20+ hours of endurance. Both use a dual-hybrid design that takes off like a helicopter and cruises like a plane. We are currently flying on three continents, in controlled national airspace under FAA oversight, and in support of U.S. military operations.
Backed by Y Combinator and a $37M STRATFI contract from the U.S. Air Force, we are moving from prototype to full-rate production with a path to Program of Record. Based in Austin, we are scaling fast and hiring people who want to build the world's largest fleet of autonomous logistics aircraft.
The Opportunity
Skyways is growing! We are looking for a hardware test engineer to add to our Austin-based engineering team. This position will be responsible for developing and executing new ground tests as well as executing and improving legacy tests. Testing encompasses structural, electrical, and propulsion systems. This position requires significant hands on work to build, configure, troubleshoot, and run tests. If you like the blend of design, engineering, and hands-on work, this is a great position to get that mix!
