Electrical Technician - Propulsion

Overview

Join to apply for the Electrical Technician - Propulsion role at Odys Aviation

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 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, Honeywell, Aramex, US Navy) beginning in late 2025 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 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

• 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.
• Fabricate and populate PCBs, breakout boxes, and test fixtures; perform rework and component replacement to IPC-610 / 620 standards.
• Install, calibrate, and maintain sensors (current, voltage, temperature, pressure, vibration) and data-acquisition hardware on propulsion test stands and prototype aircraft.
• Execute continuity, insulation-resistance, and hipot tests; diagnose faults with oscilloscopes, multimeters, CAN bus analyzers, and high-voltage safety equipment.
• Collaborate with power-electronics, motor-control, and avionics engineers to integrate inverters, converters, and PMSM motor drives into propulsion testbeds.
• Document build procedures, wiring diagrams, and inspection results.
• Support environmental, vibration, and EMI / EMC test campaigns; assist with rapid troubleshooting during ground and flight testing.
• Champion a culture of safety by enforcing lock-out / tag-out, HV PPE, and hazardous-energy control procedures in the lab and hangar.
