About the Role
ABOUT ODYS
Our mission at Odys is simple - we build safe, sustainable aircraft to cut travel time in half on the world's busiest corridors. Our flagship aircraft Alta enables travelers to skip the big-airport hassle https://youtu.be/fyI4XMsF2rM by using city helipads and local airports to connect cities less than 1,000 miles apart (approx 40% of flights). And on average cut CO2 by 76% on tens of billions of flight miles globally.
To get there, we start with our UAV called Laila for commercial logistics, medical transport, humanitarian aid, disaster relief, and defense missions. We’re deploying aircraft with launch partners (Fiji Airways https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/futureflight/2024-09-20/fiji-airways-plans-connect-pacific-islands-laila-vtol, Honeywell https://aerospace.honeywell.com/us/en/about-us/press-release/2024/07/honeywell-odys-aviation-to-collaborate-on-uncrewed-aircraft-operations-in-the-middle-east-and-pacific, Aramex https://evtolinsights.com/2024/01/odys-aviation-aramex-announce-collaboration-to-develop-cargo-operations-in-uae-and-oman/, US Navy) beginning in 2026 and already have firm orders for aircraft under contract.
We’re a team of expert engineers from deep tech and aerospace that focus on fast iterations loops (completed transition flight https://youtu.be/AffdzQDUv2U faster than our peers) combined with mastery of the aircraft certification process. Previously, our team developed custom drones, brought multiple automotive platforms into production, and electrified transportation vehicles that magnetically levitate, that roll, that fly. Together, we’ve been learning, developing, building, testing, and preparing for this challenge our entire lives.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Apply core electrical engineering principles to design, evaluate, and improve electrical systems and subsystems
- Execute battery test profiles, performance characterization, and validation activities
- Support BMS hardware and software development, including protection and safety functions
- Design and document aircraft-grade wire and cable harnesses using Rapid Harness or similar tools
- Fabricate, assemble, modify, test, and troubleshoot prototype and production-level harnesses and electrical assemblies
- Design prototype PCBs (daughter boards, signal conditioning, interfaces) using Altium Designer
- Build and maintain electrical integration and system-level test rigs
- Install, test, troubleshoot, and repair electrical components in accordance with engineering and test procedures
- Diagnose electrical faults, perform soldering and rework, and maintain electrical hardware
- Collaborate closely with propulsion, avionics, flight testing and systems engineers during prototype development and testing
- Participate in technical training as needed and apply new knowledge to engineering tasks
QUALIFICATIONS
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (Master’s degree preferred)
- 2–5 years of relevant industry experience (aerospace, automotive, energy, robotics, or similar fields)
- Strong understanding of low-voltage battery systems and BMS hardware/software architectures
- Hands-on experience with electronics prototyping and power tools (soldering, crimping, wiring, thermal imaging, multimeters, etc.)
- Proficiency with electrical test equipment such as oscilloscopes, signal generators, and data acquisition systems
- Experience working in fast-paced engineering environments with frequent design iterations
- Ability to debug complex electrical issues methodically and independently
- Strong verbal, written, and interpersonal communication skills
- Ability to collaborate effectively in cross-functional engineering teams
- Proficiency with MS Office and CAD/EDA tools such as AutoCAD Electrical and Altium Designer
