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.
The Opportunity
Technicians are a core part of our Manufacturing team. You will be hands-on building and assembling Skyways aircraft from the ground up. Your work will directly impact safety, performance, and reliability before an aircraft ever leaves our facility.
This is an on-site role focused on fabrication, assembly, integration, and testing. You’ll work closely with engineering and other technicians to bring designs to life, improve build processes, and ensure every aircraft meets our quality standards. Your craftsmanship and attention to detail will define the final product.
You will spend your time on the shop floor building, integrating, troubleshooting, and refining aircraft systems. This role is critical to getting aircraft out the door safely and on schedule.

Fabricate composite aircraft structures using wet layup and/or prepreg methods.
Perform vacuum bagging, curing, trimming, bonding, and finishing of composite parts.
Assemble aircraft structures including trimming, jigging, drilling, and hardware installation.
Integrate avionics, power systems, and flight control components.
Perform functional testing and support ground and flight test preparation.
Diagnose and resolve build issues during assembly and integration.
Create and improve tooling, fixtures, and build processes for repeatability and quality.
What You’ll Bring
4+ years of hands-on experience with aircraft, drones, robotics, or electromechanical systems.
Direct composite fabrication experience (wet layup and/or prepreg), including vacuum bagging and part finishing.
Experience in aircraft assembly and structural integration.
Strong electrical fundamentals including wiring harness fabrication and component testing.
Ability to read and follow technical drawings and build instructions.
Strong troubleshooting ability across mechanical and electrical systems.
High attention to detail and pride in craftsmanship.
Bonus Points If You Have
Experience working in a production or low-rate initial manufacturing environment.
Background in avionics integration.
