The posting

Skyways designs, builds, and operates fully autonomous long-range cargo aircraft. Founded in 2017, the company has spent the last eight years developing and deploying autonomous logistics systems for real-world operations.

Our V2 aircraft carries 30 lbs up to 500 miles, and V3 has a maximum range of well over 1,000 miles, a maximum useful load of 100 lbs, and a maximum endurance of nearly 20 hours. Both use a hybrid-electric architecture that takes off like a helicopter and cruises like a plane, enabling long-range autonomous delivery without traditional runway infrastructure.

Today, Skyways aircraft operate across three continents in controlled national airspace under FAA oversight and in support of U.S. military operations. We are transitioning from prototype development to full-rate production and scaling toward large autonomous cargo fleets.

Backed by Y Combinator and a $37M AFWERX STRATFI award from the U.S. Air Force, Skyways is creating a new form of transportation to advance our civilization from Austin, Texas.

The Opportunity

This is the job that keeps our aircraft flying after the sale. As a Field Service Representative, you're Skyways on the ground at a customer's site: deploying the aircraft, maintaining it, and fixing what breaks so their missions stay on schedule. When an aircraft goes down, you're the one who gets it back up.

Some days you're at our Austin shop or flight test site. Most days you're on the road, often internationally, running a customer site with limited backup and owning the outcome. It's hands-on, it's high-trust, and it moves. If you want a predictable desk job, this isn't it. If you like being the person customers rely on when it matters, you'll do well here.

What You'll Do:

  • Deploy to customer sites as Skyways' on-site rep and keep aircraft available, mission-ready, and flying against a 95%+ readiness bar
  • Perform scheduled and unscheduled maintenance: multi-fuel power-system service and swaps, batteries, motors, ESCs, and consumables, per the maintenance manual
  • Troubleshoot mechanical, electrical, RF/datalink, and firmware issues in the field, and fix them on the spot when you can
  • Escalate what you can't solve to MRO and Engineering with real context (symptoms, tail number, config, flight data) and drive it to resolution
  • Hit our service commitments: acknowledge issues fast and restore aircraft-down situations first
  • Keep the records honest: daily logbooks, maintenance history, and per-tail configuration control, current every day
  • Stand up new sites and redeployments: setup, systems install, functional check flights, radio/datalink checks, route validation, rehearsals, and handover
  • Manage on-site spares and AOG (aircraft-on-ground) response so a missing part doesn't ground the mission
  • Feed what you learn in the field back to Engineering so the same problem doesn't keep coming back
  • Be the customer's trusted point of contact and represent their needs back inside Skyways

What You'll Bring:

  • 3+ years maintaining and supporting manned aircraft or UAS in the field (Group 3 UAS or similar a plus)
  • Strong mechanical foundation, plus electrical, RF/datalink, and basic software/firmware troubleshooting
  • Comfort with small internal-combustion or multi-fuel engines
  • Ability to read, and actually use, technical manuals, schematics, and wiring diagrams
  • Someone who can run a remote site solo: safety-minded, self-directed, and calm when an aircraft is down
  • Willingness to travel up to ~75%, including extended international trips, sometimes on short notice; valid U.S. passport and driver's license
  • Able to lift ~50 lbs and work outdoors in the conditions the mission runs in
  • Disciplined about documentation: logbooks and configuration records don't slip
  • Comfortable with the tools we run support on (Slack, Asana, Airtable, Google Workspace)
  • Able to obtain any customer- or contract-required security clearance

Bonus Points:

  • FAA Part 107 and/or BVLOS operations experience
  • A&P license or an equivalent airframe/powerplant background
  • Prior military UAS, aviation-maintenance, or operations experience (15-series MOS, AV/AT/AE, TACP, or SOF aviation)
  • OCONUS / deployed field experience
  • Autopilot / ground-control-station software and RF/datalink systems (PX4- or ArduPilot-class) and Linux
  • Familiarity with spares, RMA, and field-logistics workflows
  • Prior OEM field-service or customer-facing technical-support experience
  • Experience operating under FAA, SORA, or similar standards
  • Additional language ability for international deployments

In addition to base salary, offers include stock options, so you own part of what you build. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage, paid time off, paid holidays, a 401k, and life insurance.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
