Description
Skyways designs, builds, and operates fully autonomous long-range cargo aircraft. Founded in 2017, the company has spent the last eight years developing and deploying autonomous logistics systems for real-world operations.
Our V2 aircraft carries 30 lbs up to 500 miles, while our next-generation V3 carries 100 lbs over 1,000+ miles with 20+ hours of endurance. Both use a hybrid-electric architecture that takes off like a helicopter and cruises like a plane, enabling long-range autonomous delivery without traditional runway infrastructure.
Today, Skyways aircraft operate across three continents in controlled national airspace under FAA oversight and in support of U.S. military operations. We are transitioning from prototype development to full-rate production and scaling toward large autonomous cargo fleets.
Backed by Y Combinator and a $37M AFWERX STRATFI award from the U.S. Air Force, Skyways is creating a new form of transportation to advance our civilization from Austin, Texas.
The Opportunity
Skyways is preparing for its first institutional audit. As Controller, you'll own all accounting operations end to end: month-end close, technical accounting, audit delivery, policy administration, and scoping our ERP migration. This is a hands-on builder role: you'll be in the GL from day one, designing the systems that take us from this funding round to the next and beyond. You'll report to the VP of Finance and partner closely with the CEO, our audit firm, and leadership across Manufacturing, Engineering, and Commercial.
