Skyways is looking for a Mechanical Engineer

Full Time Senior On-site United States Engineering CAD Solidworks Manufacturing Processes Project Management English

At Skyways we are building a new form of air transportation. Some people call it the flying car. We believe fully autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles represent a unique opportunity to move things and ultimately people in new, more efficient ways. Our strategy to get there is completely different from the rest of the industry.

Skyways is a startup based in Austin, TX. We are backed by some of the most respected investors in Silicon Valley including YCombinator. Although we consider ourselves early-stage, we already have vehicles in production and in the hands of paying customers (see here and here). Come join us and work on a transportation revolution to advance our civilization!

We are growing and looking for multiple Mechanical Engineers of all levels to join our team. You are excited about things that fly and new fundamental ways to go from A to B. You aren't afraid of tough engineering challenges, that's what gets you up in the morning. You are willing to work directly on the aircraft and see your creation take flight. You are excited about joining a startup, an extremely fast-paced environment where we get things done.

in-depth understanding of mechanical engineering discipline as it relates to design and analysis

well-versed in the manufacturing processes/techniques used in the aerospace industry

experience working with outside vendors for manufacturing

familiar with technical drawings and GD&T

you want to work at a small early stage startup

you want to wear many hats

Pluses
