Senior Flight Controls Engineer

Odys builds safe, sustainable aircraft to cut travel time in half on the world's busiest corridors. The flagship Alta enables travelers to skip big-airport hassle using city helipads and local airports for cities less than 1,000 miles apart. As Senior Flight Controls Engineer, you shape UAV behavior from concept to real-world flight.

The Flight Dynamics and Controls team designs, implements, and validates control algorithms for precise, stable, agile flight. You design, implement, and tune flight control laws for large UAVs while developing autopilot architecture and guidance algorithms. Daily work includes improving system simulation models and analyzing flight data.

Collaborate closely with aerodynamics, mechanical, software, and flight test teams for seamless integration. The team focuses on fast iteration loops, completing transition flight faster than peers. Expert engineers from deep tech and aerospace bring experience in drones, automotive production, and electrified vehicles.

This role offers hands-on development, real-time testing, and flight validation to directly impact UAV flight. Work with launch partners like Fiji Airways, Honeywell, Aramex, and US Navy on deployments starting late 2025. Join a team mastering aircraft certification for commercial logistics and more.
