Technician

At Skyways, we are building the future of air transportation with fully autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Backed by significant funding, including a $37M STRATFI contract from the U.S. Air Force, we operate at the intersection of commercial and defense markets. We have designed, built, and flown aircraft with real customers and government partners, and are now entering the next phase of the company: scaling toward production.

Based in Austin, TX and supported by top investors including Y Combinator, Skyways blends rapid iteration with real world deployment. We design, test, and operate our systems in the field, then bring those learnings directly back into engineering and product decisions. As we grow, we are looking for builders and leaders who want real ownership, technical depth, and the opportunity to help take an aircraft from successful deployments to full production.

Technicians are a core part of the Customer Success team. You will be the hands on experts who keep customer aircraft flying safely and reliably. Your work will include routine maintenance, firmware and software updates, troubleshooting, and urgent repairs. You will be the customer’s first point of contact when issues arise, making your role highly visible and critical.

You will spend time in the field at customer sites, working directly with operators, diagnosing problems, providing solutions, and sharing best practices. Travel is a natural part of the job, but balanced with problem solving and process building back at headquarters. Your role ensures that customers get the maximum value from their Skyways aircraft and that every deployment runs smoothly.

Due to U.S. government contract requirements, this role is limited to U.S. citizens, U.S. permanent residents, or candidates from specific countries authorized under applicable export control regulations.
