Description
At Skyways we are building a new form of air transportation. Some people call it the flying car. We believe fully autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles represent a unique opportunity to move things and ultimately people in new, more efficient ways. Our strategy to get there is completely different from 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 (see here and here). Come join us and work on a transportation revolution to advance our civilization!
We are growing and are looking for a talented Electrical Engineer to join our team. The right engineer has an expert level of Electrical Engineering knowledge and Robotics experience, as you will be the one who helps us take our already incredible aircraft to new heights (recruiter pun there, apologies).
Responsibilities
- take ownership of multiple electronic systems, both in the air and on the ground
- develop hardware and firmware hand-in-hand to produce a complete functional product
- develop and re-spin PCB designs
- develop, test, and validate prototypes with production scaling in mind
- communicate with vendors, contractors, and manufacturers of electronic components and assemblies
- investigate and resolve anomalous equipment in the lab and in the field
To be the right candidate for this role, you must have the following experience:
- minimum BS in Electrical, Computer, or Aerospace Engineering (if you have Robotics experience, we will consider any Eng major)
- 5+ years of robotics experience
- 2+ years of experience with DC power Systems
- working knowledge of implementing at minimum CAN and I2C hardware and firmware
- proficient with Altium, EAGLE or other standard EDA tool
- hands-on experience with LiPo/LiIon batteries, including charging and BMS usage
- knowledgeable in the use of oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and power supplies to test and troubleshoot circuits
Having some of this experience is important to us, but not required:
- We'd really like for you to have hands-on experience with LiPo/LiIon batteries, including charging and BMS usage
- Preferred experience in the aero/aviation field
- BMS or motor controller design
- experience with RF (VHF, UHF, SHF) TX/RX device integration and troubleshooting
- mechanical CAD and 3d printing experience
You should be excited about things that fly and new fundamental ways to go from A to B. 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 amezing EE. If you have this background and experience, please send an email to our Head of Talent directly - her email is jen@skyways.com.
Our team is comprised of makers and doers! We would love for you to show us your projects! Videos and photos go a long way!

Frequently Asked Questions
- Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
- The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
- Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
- We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
- We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
- From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
- We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
- If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
- EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
