About the job
Join Skyways as we revolutionize air transportation with our cutting-edge autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). With substantial funding, including a pivotal $37M STRATFI contract from the U. S. Air Force, we operate at the forefront of both commercial and defense sectors. Our team has successfully designed, built, and flown aircraft in collaboration with real customers and government partners, and we are now poised to scale our production capabilities.
Located in Austin, TX, and backed by prominent investors such as Y Combinator, Skyways thrives on rapid iterations and real-world deployments. We focus on designing, testing, and operating our systems in the field while integrating insights directly back into our engineering and product development. As we expand, we seek passionate builders and leaders who desire real ownership, technical depth, and the opportunity to contribute to our aircraft’s journey from successful deployment to full-scale production.
Your Role
As a Technician, you will play a vital role in our Manufacturing team, actively participating in the hands-on construction and assembly of Skyways aircraft from the ground up. Your contributions will have a direct impact on the safety, performance, and reliability of our aircraft before they leave our facility.
This position is on-site, emphasizing fabrication, assembly, integration, and testing. You will collaborate closely with engineers and fellow technicians to translate designs into reality, enhance build processes, and ensure each aircraft meets our stringent quality standards. Your craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail will be pivotal in defining our final product.
Expect to spend your days on the shop floor building, integrating, troubleshooting, and refining aircraft systems. This role is crucial in ensuring that our aircraft are delivered safely and on schedule.
