Senior Technical Program Manager

Skyways designs, builds, and operates fully autonomous long-range cargo aircraft. We have been flying real missions with real customers since 2017.

Our V2 carries 30 lbs up to 500 miles and our V3 carries 100 lbs over 1,000 miles with 20+ hours of endurance. Both use a dual-hybrid design that takes off like a helicopter and cruises like a plane. We are currently flying on three continents, in controlled national airspace under FAA oversight, and in support of U.S. military operations.

Backed by Y Combinator and a $37M STRATFI contract from the U.S. Air Force, we are moving from prototype to full-rate production with a path to Program of Record. Based in Austin, we are scaling fast and hiring people who want to build the world's largest fleet of autonomous logistics aircraft.

The Opportunity

Skyways is hiring its first Technical Program Manager to help drive execution across our aircraft development programs. This role sits at the center of engineering, manufacturing, flight operations, and customer programs, ensuring complex technical work stays coordinated and key milestones are delivered.

You will take customer requirements and translate them into clear internal plans, timelines, and owners. From there, you’ll work across teams to track progress, surface risks early, and keep programs moving forward.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys operating in the middle of complex technical work, coordinating teams, managing program details, and helping the company deliver real aircraft systems to customers.
