À propos
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.

What You'll Do:
Develop and implement computer vision and robotics algorithms for autonomous flight. Focus on landing zone evaluation and detect-and-avoid systems. Work with sensor data (e.g., IMUs) for non-GPS navigation. Collaborate with flight and mission planning teams. Contribute across the full software development lifecycle. What You'll Bring:
5+ years of experience in developing, testing, and deploying algorithms for perception, navigation, or object interaction in real-world applications. Strong proficiency in C++ and/or Python. A solid understanding of sensor fusion principles and practical experience with diverse sensor types. Prior experience in aerospace, autonomous vehicles, or drone technology. We need a proactive problem-solver who thrives in a collaborative environment and is committed to continuous learning and improvement. Strong communication skills are key. Bonus Points If You Have:
Experience with embedded systems or real-time operating systems. A background in guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) systems. Familiarity with DevSecOps principles as they apply to robotics software deployment.
