Sr. Power Electronics Hardware Engineer

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 2026 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.

Odys Aviation is at the forefront of developing hybrid-electric aircraft to enable sustainable regional air travel. As the Sr. Power Electronics Hardware Engineer, you will be responsible for the design and development of our SiC-based propulsion power electronics - motor drives, active rectifiers, and DC/DC converters - supporting both the Laila (UAV) and Alta (Hybrid-electric VTOL) programs.

This role focuses on hardware design and physical realization. You will be tasked with architecting and delivering high-power-density SiC converter stages from concept through flight hardware, including schematic capture, PCB layout, magnetics, gate-drive and protection circuitry, thermal management, and EMI mitigation. Control algorithms, embedded firmware, and HIL infrastructure will remain with peer engineers; your responsibility is to deliver hardware that meets electrical, thermal, mechanical, and certification targets, and that enables the control system to extract full performance.

The primary deliverable is a propulsion power electronics stack that achieves aerospace-grade reliability, hits aggressive power-density and efficiency targets, and is manufacturable, testable, and robust under the full envelope of flight conditions.
