Vertical takeoff and landing aircraft for major airlines. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
Odys Aviation is pioneering next-generation hybrid-electric aircraft to make sustainable high-speed regional travel a reality. As a Senior Power Electronics Engineer, you will be at the core of our powertrain development, designing and optimizing high-voltage inverters, converters, and motor controllers for our UAV (Laila) and eVTOL (Alta) programs.
What they're looking for
- Master’s degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or a related field
- 5+ years of hands-on experience designing and testing high-voltage power electronics
- Deep expertise in SiC MOSFET-based inverter/converter design, gate driver circuitry, and HV system protection
- Strong understanding of PMSM motor control, embedded systems, and fault detection & mitigation
- Proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS, and SPICE for powertrain analysis
- Ability to work independently, meet critical milestones, and drive projects from concept to hardware validation
More about this role
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...
