<h2>About Odys</h2>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 <a href="https://youtu.be/fyI4XMsF2rM">Alta enables travelers to skip the big-airport hassle</a> 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 (<a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/futureflight/2024-09-20/fiji-airways-plans-connect-pacific-islands-laila-vtol">Fiji Airways</a>, <a href="https://aerospace.honeywell.com/us/en/about-us/press-release/2024/07/honeywell-odys-aviation-to-collaborate-on-uncrewed-aircraft-operations-in-the-middle-east-and-pacific">Honeywell</a>, <a href="https://evtolinsights.com/2024/01/odys-aviation-aramex-announce-collaboration-to-develop-cargo-operations-in-uae-and-oman/">Aramex</a>, 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 (<a href="https://youtu.be/AffdzQDUv2U">completed transition flight</a> 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.<h2>About The Role</h2>We are seeking an engineering student with strong analytical fundamentals, self-motivation, and a willingness to take on the challenging yet exciting task of supporting the qualification and safety activities for a next-generation hybrid VTOL aircraft program.The work during the internship would include, but not be limited to, supporting qualification planning, extracting requirements from applicable standards and guidelines, contributing to DOA process mapping activities, creating functional system models using MBSE tools, and performing structured benchmark studies. In parallel, the role includes assisting with aircraft-level safety assessments, such as FHA and FMEA, under the SORA framework and applicable standards and guidelines.The workload is expected to be balanced between product qualification and structured safety analysis activities. The skills that would set candidates apart are their ability to think systematically across engineering and regulatory domains, work confidently in documentation-intensive environments, and translate regulatory requirements into structured engineering artefacts such as compliance matrices and system models. Solid engineering fundamentals, strong attention to detail, and the ability to structure complex technical information clearly will be key to performing well in this role.<h2>Responsibilities</h2>You will use fundamental engineering principles to support qualification compliance and aircraft-level safety activities across the program.Qualification Support (≈50%)<ul style=""><li>Extract and organise requirements from standards and guidelines</li><li>Support the preparation of structured documentation packages for internal reviews</li><li>Contribute to qualification planning activities under supervision</li><li>Support DOA Process Map</li><li>Create functional system models (MBSE)</li><li>Perform benchmark studies for competitors</li></ul>Safety Analysis Support (≈50%)<ul style=""><li>Support the development and maintenance of aircraft hazard logs and risk classification tables</li><li>Assist in structuring and updating FHA and FMEA analyses</li><li>Support traceability between hazards, safety requirements, mitigations, and verification methods</li><li>Prepare structured technical visualisations such as risk matrices and traceability diagrams</li><li>Work closely with Safety and Qualification Engineers during development iterations</li></ul><h2>Qualifications</h2><ul style=""><li>Being enrolled in or recently completed a Bachelor’s or advanced degree program in Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field</li><li>Good understanding of engineering fundamentals and structured problem-solving</li><li>Strong proficiency in MS Office applications (especially Excel)</li><li>Ability to use model-based engineering tools (Capella)</li><li>Ability to work effectively in analytical and documentation-focused assignments</li><li>Experience working in relevant group projects or structured technical environments</li><li>Excellent verbal, written, and interpersonal communication skills</li><li>Ability to work effectively with others and be a participative team member</li></ul>Interest in aircraft qualification processes and safety engineering

We're building hybrid-electric VTOL aircraft that will transform the aviation industry and enable a new era of sustainable regional air travel at every range, cutting travel times by half and carbon emissions by 76%.
