About the role

Skydio is seeking a Senior Manufacturing Design Engineer to bridge product development and production for advanced unmanned aircraft systems. You will guide manufacturing plans, process flows, tooling strategies, and readiness criteria from prototype through high-volume production. The role emphasizes DFA feedback, process validation, and cross-functional collaboration with design, quality, supply chain, and test engineering to deliver safe, reliable, and cost-effective manufacturing.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
