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+ DoD contracts.

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

Are you passionate about integrating, testing, and validating the systems that make advanced unmanned aircraft fly autonomously and reliably? Do you thrive at the intersection of complex system integration, verification & validation, and real-time test campaigns? Join our engineering team as a Mission Systems Integration & Test Engineer.

Laila isn't a single fixed configuration - it's a platform that carries many different mission-specific payloads (EO/IR sensors, cargo and delivery systems, medical transport, communications relays, ISR and defense packages, and more).

A central part of this role is integrating those diverse payloads onto the aircraft so each mission configuration flies safely and performs as intended. You'll integrate and validate our on-board and ground system architectures - ensuring robust command & control, payload integration and management, and autonomous operations on Laila, our dual-use UAS platform, perform reliably as one cohesive system. You'll work closely with avionics, systems, payload, and GCS teams to deliver safe, reliable, certifiable, high-performance systems, and you'll be hands-on across payload-to-aircraft integration, system integration, SIL/HIL testing, field validation, and flight test campaigns - central to how payloads, navigation, and mission logic connect and perform together. You'll supplement this integration and test work with targeted software development where needed to close gaps and enable validation

Responsibilities

Payload-to-Aircraft Integration

Integrate diverse mission-specific payloads - EO/IR and vision sensors, cargo/delivery mechanisms, medical transport modules, communications relays, ISR and defense packages onto the aircraft as safe, reliable, mission-ready configurations.

Define and validate the mechanical, electrical, power, data, and software interfaces between payloads and the airframe, and capture them in payload ICDs.

Establish reusable, modular payload integration patterns so new payloads can be brought onto the platform quickly and repeatably.

Verify payload command, control, and data flow through the autopilot, onboard compute, and GCS across each mission configuration.

Characterize the impact of payloads on aircraft-level behavior (power budgets, EMI/EMC, weight & balance, thermal, latency) and drive resolution of integration issues.

System, Avionics & GCS Integration

Integrate avionics, sensors, and payloads into a cohesive onboard system - including autopilot, navigation, vision, electrical, mechanical, and power management components.
