Skyways At Skyways, we are building a new form of air transportation—what some call the flying car. Backed by fresh funding and a major STRATFI contract from the U.S. Air Force, we’re uniquely positioned to lead the next wave of aviation innovation. Our fully autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) represent a breakthrough opportunity to move goods—and soon, people—in ways that are faster, safer, and more efficient than ever before. Unlike anyone else in the industry, our strategy blends rapid iteration with real-world deployment, and it’s already paying off.
Skyways is a fast-growing startup based in Austin, TX, supported by top Silicon Valley investors including Y Combinator. Though we’re early-stage, our vehicles are already in production and in the hands of paying commercial customers (see here and here). With robust financial backing and government partnerships accelerating our momentum, there’s never been a better time to join us and help build the future of transportation!
The Opportunity
At Skyways, we're pushing the boundaries of autonomous aerial platforms. This isn't just another engineering role; it's a critical position for a Senior Computer Vision Engineer with deep expertise in computer vision and robotics. We need someone who can directly contribute to our core technology and help drive our growth and revenue.
What You'll Do:
Develop and implement computer vision and robotics algorithms for autonomous flight Focus on landing zone evaluation and detect-and-avoid systems Work with sensor data (e.g., IMUs) for non-GPS navigation Collaborate with flight and mission planning teams Contribute across the full software development lifecycle
What You'll Bring:
5+ years of experience in developing, testing, and deploying algorithms for perception, navigation, or object interaction in real-world applications Strong proficiency in C++ and Python A solid understanding of sensor fusion principles and practical experience with diverse sensor types Prior experience in aerospace, autonomous vehicles, or drone technology We need a proactive problem-solver who thrives in a collaborative environment and is committed to continuous learning and improvement. Strong communication skills are key
Bonus Points If You Have:
Experience with embedded systems or real-time operating systems A background in guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) systems Familiarity with DevSecOps principles as they apply to robotics software deployment
