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 motivated by solving complex engineering challenges and contributing to the development of an advanced aircraft system? If you are energized by both big-picture thinking and hands-on execution, this role offers the opportunity to support the definition, architecture, integration, and test of a novel aircraft.

As a Systems Engineering and Integration Intern, you will work across disciplines to support system development activities, including requirements definition, hardware and software integration, and verification. You will engage directly with engineering teams to help translate concepts into functional systems and see your contributions validated through tests.

This role is well suited for individuals who are curious, detail-oriented, and eager to gain experience in a fast-paced engineering environment.

What You’ll Do

• Participate in defining aircraft use-cases, capabilities, missions and functions

• Assist with organizing, managing, and maintaining aircraft, system, and mission requirements

• Use engineering tools to capture and define the system architecture, system boundaries, and interfaces

• Assist in defining, documenting, and implementing engineering processes for software change management, testing, and version control

• Participate in aircraft software verification & validation activities

• Support the integration and testing of a ground control station and software

• Perform hands-on integration and testing of mission equipment (computers, radios, datalinks, cameras, and sensors)

• Conduct lab & field tests, data collection and analysis

What We Are Looking For

• Currently enrolled in or recently completed a bachelor’s or advanced degree program in Aerospace Engineering, EE/ME, Computer Science, or related field

• Coursework in systems engineering is highly desired with basic understanding of engineering development processes

• Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical, or Computer Science as a core discipline

• Interested in systems thinking and able to visualize, articulate, and understand the a system in its entirety, not just individual components

• Enjoys being hands-on— integrating and testing real hardware & software

• Able to work independently, take ownership of tasks, and ask good questions when needed

• Strong curiosity, attention to detail, and desire to make a meaningful impact

Nice To Have

• Participation in organized student project teams (DBF, Formula SAE, Robotics/Mechatronics, AI/Autonomy)

• Experience with the mechanical, electrical, and/or software integration of components

• Coding skills (Python, C/C++)

• Interest in system architecture, requirements, system safety, and engineering processes
