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 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.
About the Role
We are looking for a Composite Technician to support the fabrication, assembly, integration, and testing of composite and metallic structures across our aircraft platforms. You’ll work closely with engineers and other technicians to manufacture composite parts, complete bonded assemblies, and install airframe components, propulsion mounts, wiring harnesses, and actuation systems. This role is highly hands-on and dynamic. You’ll support prototype builds, composite layups, mold and tool preparation, vacuum bagging, oven curing, trimming,bonding,and final aircraft assembly across multiple projects.You’ll play a critical role in getting our aircraft built,integrated,and ready for flight.

Odys builds long-range, dual-use VTOL aircraft to serve multiple missions across defense, logistics, and civil applications. Their hybrid-electric propulsion delivers unmatched range, payload, and endurance for real-world missions. They feature a flap-based thrust vectoring architecture replacing tilt rotors with a simpler system built for real-world VTOL performance. Odys is a truly scalable Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) company with two aircraft: Laila (currently flying) and Alta (following with certification).
