Chief Engineer
Skyryse, El Segundo, CA
The role
You will own the architectural vision for the fly-by-wire system and, just as importantly, own its execution: setting the technical plan, coordinating engineering activity across software, hardware, and flight operations, resolving trade-offs, and holding the line on safety, performance, and regulatory requirements. You will work directly with the CEO, the VP of Engineering, and the VP of Certification to drive certification of SkyOS on the R66.
What you will do
- Lead technical project planning: scope definition, scheduling, resource allocation, and dependency management across engineering disciplines.
- Coordinate cross-functional execution across software, hardware, systems, and program management to support development, qualification, and certification.
- Identify technical risks early and implement mitigation strategies; escalate clearly and without delay when mitigation isn't working.
