Hybrid Head of Systems Engineering at Skyways
Skyways · Austin, TX, United States Of America · Hybrid
- Office in Austin, TX
At Skyways, we are building a new form of air transportation—what some call the flying car. Backed by fresh funding and a major StratFi contract from the U.S. Air Force, we’re uniquely positioned to lead the next wave of aviation innovation. Our fully autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) represent a breakthrough opportunity to move goods—and soon, people—in ways that are faster, safer, and more efficient than ever before. Unlike anyone else in the industry, our strategy blends rapid iteration with real-world deployment, and it’s already paying off.
Skyways is a fast-growing startup based in Austin, TX, supported by top Silicon Valley investors including Y Combinator. Though we’re early-stage, our vehicles are already in production and in the hands of paying customers. With robust financial backing and government partnerships accelerating our momentum, there’s never been a better time to join us and help build the future of transportation.
The Opportunity
As Head of Systems Engineering, you will provide strategic and technical leadership for our systems engineering organization. You’ll play a critical role in scaling our products from early-stage prototypes to full production, ensuring robust design, integration, and delivery of complex aerospace systems. This is a high-impact, highly visible leadership role with the opportunity to shape both our engineering culture and our products.
