Overview
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
Are you passionate about building and integrating the software systems that make advanced unmanned aircraft fly autonomously and reliably? Do you thrive at the intersection of embedded development, real-time data processing, and complex system integration? If so, we invite you to join our engineering team as Mission Systems Integration Engineer. In this role, you will contribute to the design, implementation, and integration of our on-board and ground software architectures — enabling robust command & control, payload management, and autonomous operations. You will work closely with avionics, systems, and GCS teams to deliver safe, reliable,... [truncated for brevity]
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).
