Mechanical Technician - Airframe
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
We are looking for a Mechanical Technician to support the assembly, integration, and testing of composite and metallic structures across our aircraft platforms. You’ll work closely with engineers and other technicians to build and install airframe components, propulsion mounts, wiring harnesses, and actuation systems.
This role is highly hands-on and dynamic. You’ll assist with prototype builds, jigs and fixtures, composite layups, bonded assemblies, and system installations across multiple projects. You’ll be critical to getting our aircraft built, integrated, and ready for flight.
Your Responsibilities:
Setup and operate a wide variety of tools such as torque wrenches, saws, drills and soldering irons
Assembly and fabrication of test rigs and test articles
Interpret engineering models, drawings, instructions and test procedures
Fabrication, assembly and handling of tight tolerance aerospace components
Operate various ground support equipment such as forklifts and gantry cranes
Supporting composite layups, positive and negative mold preparation, resin application, vacuum and oven curing
Assembly of prototype aircraft mechanical and electrical components
Supporting execution of in-house and external testing campaigns
Support part inspection for appearance, function, tolerances, dimensions and tolerances
Maintain the shop area and organize tool boxes and powered equipment
Travel to machine/fabrication shops to obtain parts and purchase equipment
Work collaboratively and communicate effectively with teams of diverse backgrounds and skills
Your Background Should Be:
High school diploma or equivalent degrees
Experience with hand tools and powered tools
Experience operating ground support equipment
Experience in application of resins, adhesives, sealant and primers
Experience with assembly/fabrication/handling of critical and tight tolerance components
Experience in manufacturing and assembly of aircraft and aircraft components is a plus
Prior experience in composite fabrication is a plus
CNC machining experience is a plus
OSHA certification is a plus
Knowledge of quality procedures, tolerances, dimensions and specifications is a plus
Previous drone and UAV experience is a plus
