At Skyways, we are building the next generation of autonomous air transportation. Our fully autonomous unmanned aircraft systems move cargo faster and more efficiently than traditional logistics networks.
Backed by strong investor support and a $37M STRATFI contract from the U.S. Air Force, we operate at the intersection of commercial logistics and national defense. Our aircraft are not just prototypes—we design, build, fly, and deploy them with real customers today.
Based in Austin and supported by investors including Y Combinator, Skyways combines rapid engineering iteration with real-world operations. As we scale toward larger deployments, we are looking for people who want to help build and operate the future of autonomous aviation.
The Opportunity
We plan to launch our internship program in 2026. Interns at Skyways will work alongside engineers, operators, and builders on meaningful projects in areas such as mechanical design, composites, software development, flight testing, and operations. If you are excited about Skyways and want to be considered once internships open, send us your resume, portfolio, or even a short note about what you would love to work on. We will keep your information on file and reach out when opportunities go live.
Who You Might Be:
An engineering student who wants to see your designs fly.
A builder or maker who thrives on hands-on work and autonomy.
A coder who loves robotics, autonomy, or flight systems.
An operator who wants to learn how to scale a fast-moving startup.
Above all, someone who loves hard problems and wants to help make the future real.
Why Join Skyways:
Real technology with real customers. Our aircraft fly missions today.
Small team with big ownership. Every person shapes the product and culture.
Mission driven. We believe autonomy in the air will transform how civilization moves.
Learn by doing. Your projects will touch actual aircraft, not just paper studies.
