Skyways builds fully autonomous, unmanned aerial vehicles designed for vertical takeoff and landing cargo transport. The stack is heavily weighted toward aerospace simulation and control (PX4, ArduPilot, MATLAB, ROS) with minimal web infrastructure (React, Electron), reflecting a hardware-first, physics-driven product. The hiring mix—16 engineers across flight control, detect-and-avoid, and mission planning, paired with manufacturing and ops roles—and the pain-point pattern (scaling prototype to production, QA from ground up, FAA compliance readiness) all signal a company transitioning from research and flight-test toward regulatory certification and repeatable manufacturing.
