Electrical Technician 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. 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.
Responsibilities:
Build, route, and terminate low- and high-voltage (14 V DC to 800 V DC) wiring harnesses, connectors, and cable assemblies for propulsion, avionics, and flight-control systems.
Fabricate and populate PCBs, breakout boxes, and test fixtures; perform rework and component replacement to IPC-610/620 standards.
Install, calibrate, and maintain sensors (current, voltage, temperature, pressure, vibration) and data-acquisition hardware on propulsion test stands and prototype aircraft.
Execute continuity, insulation-resistance, and hipot tests; diagnose faults with oscilloscopes, multimeters, CAN bus analyzers, and high-voltage safety equipment.
Collaborate with power-electronics, motor-control, and avionics engineers to integrate inverters, converters, and PMSM motor drives into propulsion testbeds.
Document build procedures, wiring diagrams, and inspection results.
Support environmental, vibration, and EMI/EMC test campaigns; assist with rapid troubleshooting during ground and flight testing.
Champion a culture of safety by enforcing lock-out/tag-out, HV PPE, and hazardous-energy control procedures in the lab and hangar.
Requirements:
Associate or Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering Technology, Avionics, or a related field—or equivalent hands-on experience.3+ years of experience assembling and troubleshooting aerospace, automotive, or industrial electrical systems at voltages above 300 V DC.Proficiency in reading electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and harness drawings (KiCad, Altium, or similar).Demonstrated skill in crimping, soldering, harness over-braiding, heat-shrink moulded parts, and connector back-shell termination. Familiarity with IPC/WHMA-A-620, NASA-STD-8739, or comparable workmanship standards. Working knowledge of CAN, RS-422/485, and Ethernet wiring practices, shielding, and grounding. Strong organizational skills and the ability to execute tasks independently while meeting tight deadlines.
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience with eVTOL or aerospace powertrain development, including DO-160G environmental and EMI/EMC test procedures.
Hands-on exposure to inverters, gate-driver circuits, and high-frequency switching layouts.
Certification to IPC-J-STD-001 (Space Addendum) or FAA Repairman Certificate for wire harness assembly.
Familiarity with HV safety interlocks (HVIL), battery management systems, and contactor control logic.
Experience installing and troubleshooting flight-worthy instrumentation (strain gauges, thermocouples, RTDs) and associated DAQ software.
Proven track record supporting prototype aircraft or UAV flight-test programs in cross-functional engineering teams.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills; ability to generate clear build logs, discrepancy reports, and red-lined drawings for configuration control.
