## Description

### **About Odys**

At Odys, we’re mobilizing power, with Hybrid Power Systems developed for aerospace and in-demand everywhere. It’s the kind of mission diversity that demands a fresh way of thinking.
We began with an early bet on hybrid, when the mobility industry was focused on batteries. We designed, tested, and validated our first 1 MW high-speed generator in 12 months. And then we pushed further, developing systems with greater power density in less time. Today, our Hybrid Power Systems offer outputs ranging from **20 kW** to **4 MW**, with applications in the air or on the ground.
One of those applications is **Laila**, an unmanned drone designed for critical logistics and defense missions. With its 100 kW-class onboard Hybrid Power System, Laila can support medical cold-chain transport or serve as an aerial platform for counter-UAS measures.
The market interest has been overwhelming: **Over 30** inbound requests from leading US and global manufacturers, and **14+ DoDcontracts**.
Our team comes from deep tech and aerospace, with backgrounds spanning drone and aircraft development, high-volume production, and electrified mobility.
We operate with urgency and ownership at every level. We validated high-speed generator technology faster than our peers, not because we skipped steps, but because we've been doing this long enough to know which ones matter most.
**Creating the future** of power, in the air and on the ground, is a challenge we’ve been training our entire lives for. If that sounds like you, this is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
 **Electrical TechnicianResponsibilities**
• Build, route, and terminate low- and high-voltage (14 V DC to 800 V DC) wiring harnesses, connectors, and cable assemblies for propulsion, avionics, and flight-control systems.
• Execute continuity, insulation-resistance, and hipot tests; diagnose faults with rapid troubleshooting, oscilloscopes, multimeters, CAN bus analyzers, and high-voltage safety equipment.
• Install, calibrate, and maintain components, sensors and data-acquisition hardware on propulsion test stands and prototype aircraft.
• Fabricate and populate PCBs, breakout boxes, and test fixtures; perform rework and component replacement to IPC-610/620 standards.
• Champion a culture of safety by enforcing lock-out/tag-out, HV PPE, and hazardous-energy control procedures in the lab and hangar.
**Requirements**
 • 2+ years of experience assembling and troubleshooting aerospace, automotive, or industrial electrical systems.
 • Proficiency in reading electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and harness drawings (KiCad, Altium, or similar).
• Demonstrated skill in crimping, soldering, harness over-braiding, heat-shrink moulded parts, and connector back-shell termination.
• Familiarity with IPC/WHMA-A-620, NASA-STD-8739, or comparable workmanship standards.
• Working knowledge of CAN, RS-422/485, and Ethernet wiring practices, shielding, and grounding.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to execute tasks independently while meeting tight deadlines.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
**Preferred Qualifications**
• Experience with eVTOL or aerospace powertrain development, including DO-160G environmental and EMI/EMC test procedures.
• Hands-on exposure to inverters, gate-driver circuits, and high-frequency switching layouts.
• Certification to IPC-J-STD-001 (Space Addendum) or FAA Repairman Certificate for wire harness assembly.
• Familiarity with HV safety interlocks (HVIL), battery management systems, and contactor control logic.
• Experience installing and troubleshooting flight-worthy instrumentation (strain gauges, thermocouples, RTDs) and associated DAQ software.
• Proven track record supporting prototype aircraft or UAV flight-test programs in cross-functional engineering teams.
• Ability to generate clear build logs, discrepancy reports, and red-lined drawings for configuration control.
