strategy to get there is completely different than 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 . Come join us and work on a transportation revolution to
advance our civilization! Note: most of our jobs are local in
Austin TX, with the notable exception of software related roles. We
are growing and are looking for a talented Electrical Engineer to
join our team. The right engineer has an expert level of Electrical

and on the ground

complete functional product

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. We have a lot of great things to do that require an
