**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** ------------------ Odys Aviation is looking for a Lead Propulsion Integration Engineer to own the integration of our hybrid-electric propulsion system, with an immediate focus on the Laila UAV program. The role covers electric propulsion motors and controllers, high-voltage distribution and harnesses, gensets, batteries, and associated electrical, mechanical, thermal and control interfaces. This is a hands-on senior technical role. You will act as the aircraft-level technical authority for propulsion integration and the primary focal point for external suppliers and the internal Power Systems team. ### **Responsibilities** * Own the architecture, integration requirements and technical integrity of the hybrid-electric propulsion system at aircraft level. * Lead integration of propulsion motors, controllers, gensets, batteries, HV distribution, harnesses and supporting systems. * Define and manage mechanical, electrical, thermal and control interfaces between propulsion subsystems and the aircraft. * Ensure integrated performance, power, mass, safety, reliability and maintainability requirements are achieved. * Act as the principal technical interface for external propulsion suppliers and the internal Power Systems team. * Lead integration trade studies, design reviews and resolution of system-level technical issues. * Own propulsion integration verification and coordinate bench, ground and flight-test activities. * Work closely with Systems Engineering, Flight Controls, Structures, Manufacturing, Safety, Airworthiness and Flight Test. * Represent propulsion integration in aircraft-level reviews and drive technical readiness against program milestones. ### **Requirements** * B.S. or M.S. in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline. * 8+ years of relevant propulsion or electrical power systems experience, including technical ownership of complex integrated systems. * Strong fundamentals in electric propulsion, power electronics, batteries, generators and high-voltage distribution. * Demonstrated ability to manage complex mechanical, electrical, thermal and control system interfaces. * Experience taking hardware from requirements and design through aircraft integration, verification and test. * Practical understanding of electrical protection, high-voltage safety, fault management and system reliability. * Experience leading technical supplier interfaces and coordinating multidisciplinary engineering teams. * Hands-on mindset and ability to make sound technical decisions in a fast-moving development environment. **Preferred Qualifications** * Previous Propulsion Integration Lead, Responsible Engineer or comparable technical leadership experience. * Hybrid-electric aircraft or advanced UAV propulsion experience. * Experience with propulsion integration benches, ground testing and flight-test support. * Familiarity with aerospace system safety, EMI/EMC and airworthiness requirements. * Clean-sheet aircraft and/or aerospace startup experience. * Experience with requirements, interface documentation and configuration management tools.
