## 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.
 **About the Role**

- We are looking for a motivated intern to assist our robotics team in building and integrating unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platforms used for autonomous testing and sensor development.

- This role is ideal for students interested in robotics, drones, mechatronics, and embedded systems, who enjoy hands-on work with hardware and system integration.

- The intern will support the development team by assembling UAV platforms, integrating sensors and communication devices, and assisting with system-level bench and flight testing.

**Responsibilities**

- Assist in assembling and maintaining UAV platforms used for research and development

- Support integration of sensors, cameras, radios, and communication modules

- Perform wiring, soldering, and hardware setup for onboard electronics

- Help verify hardware functionality (power, communication, sensor outputs)

- Assist with bench testing and flight testing preparation

- Support integration of hardware with onboard compute systems

- Help document wiring diagrams, system configurations, and integration procedures

- Assist with scripting or software tasks when required (e.g., device testing, logging)

- Travel to support field flight testing operations (~20% of the time)

**Required Qualifications**

- Pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field

- Strong interest in robotics systems and UAVs

- Basic knowledge of electronics and electrical systems

- Experience with wiring, connectors, or soldering

- Familiarity with Linux and basic programming (Python or C++)

- Experience with ROS2

- Ability to work hands-on with hardware and troubleshoot issues

**Preferred Qualifications**

- Experience with drones or robotics platforms

- Familiarity with embedded systems or microcontrollers

- Experience with communication protocols (UART, SPI, CAN, I2C)

- Experience with PX4 autopilot

- Experience integrating sensors or cameras

**What You'll Gain**

- Hands-on experience working with real UAV platforms

- Exposure to sensor integration and autonomous system development

- Opportunity to work alongside engineers developing next-generation autonomous vehicles

- Experience with hardware-software integration in robotics systems
