About the Role
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
As Director of Hardware, you will own aircraft hardware execution from early design through production, test, and fielded reliability. This is a hands on leadership role with direct accountability for the physical systems that make the aircraft fly.
You will work closely with flight, software, manufacturing, and supply chain to turn designs into operational aircraft and continuously improve them in the field.
