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
