About the job
Join Skyways as we revolutionize the future of air transportation with cutting-edge fully autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Supported by substantial funding, including a notable $37M STRATFI contract from the U. S. Air Force, we are strategically positioned at the nexus of commercial and defense markets. Our team has successfully designed, built, and flown aircraft in collaboration with real customers and government partners, and we are now embarking on an exciting phase of scaling towards full production.
Located in Austin, TX, and backed by esteemed investors like Y Combinator, Skyways excels in rapid innovation combined with real-world deployment. Our approach involves designing, testing, and operating our systems in the field, allowing us to integrate valuable insights back into engineering and product development. As we expand, we seek passionate builders and leaders ready to take ownership of their roles, delve into technical complexities, and drive the transition of our aircraft from successful operations to full-scale production.

We are on the lookout for a dynamic Head of Flight. In this pivotal leadership position, you will be responsible for defining, leading, and scaling all flight operations and testing. Your expertise will ensure compliance with safety regulations and operational standards for both internal and customer flights, providing strategic oversight as we prepare to expand globally.
