TechnicalSourcer

## 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. ## What You'll Do Build market maps for priority technical roles Source candidates across aerospace, autonomy, robotics, manufacturing, hardware, defense, and startup environments Create and maintain searches in LinkedIn Recruiter and other sourcing tools Run outbound outreach through LinkedIn, email, referrals, and targeted research Lightly qualify candidates against role-specific rubrics Partner with recruiting and hiring managers to define what “qualified” means for each role Keep Lever clean with accurate stages, notes, responses, and follow-ups Hand off qualified, interested candidates with clear context Surface market signal around comp, titles, location, availability, and talent density Help improve sourcing process, outreach quality, and pipeline visibility ## What You'll Bring Proven technical sourcing experience for hard-to-fill roles in hardware, robotics, or adjacent deep-tech and physical-engineering domains (aerospace, defense, autonomy, or advanced manufacturi
