Aircraft OS and avionics hardware for simplified flight control
Skyryse builds SkyOS, a unified operating system for aircraft, paired with purpose-built avionics hardware (Skyryse One). The tech stack reveals deep aerospace engineering maturity: MATLAB, Simulink, ANSYS, and CAD tools (Solidworks, CATIA) for simulation and design; C/C++, Rust, and GPU compute (CUDA, OpenGL, Vulkan) for real-time avionics software. Hiring is heavily weighted toward senior engineers and quality leadership, with active roles in certification, flight control systems, and safety architecture — indicating they're scaling toward regulatory approval and production readiness.

Skyryse is an aerospace hardware and software company based in Los Angeles, founded in 2016. The company develops SkyOS, a flight-control operating system designed to simplify aircraft management across normal operations, poor weather, and emergencies, along with the Skyryse One aircraft to demonstrate the platform. The organization is 51–200 employees and operates primarily in the United States, with current focus on certifiable autonomous flight control, experimental rotorcraft testing, and flight-operations safety management. Core challenges include navigating federal certification pathways, managing long lead times in aircraft development, and scaling production and people infrastructure.
Skyryse uses MATLAB, Simulink, ANSYS, and CAD tools (Solidworks, CATIA) for design and simulation; C/C++, Rust, Python, and CUDA for avionics software; and enterprise systems (Oracle, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Jira) for ops. The stack reflects aerospace-grade simulation and real-time embedded systems development.
Active projects include certifiable autonomous flight control systems, experimental flight tests in rotorcraft, production of the Skyryse One aircraft, safety architecture design, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and flight-operations safety management system implementation.
