About Odys

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 this challenge our entire lives.

What You’ll Work On
  • Design graphics and visual assets for Odys’ social media channels, website, and external communications

  • Support the creation of marketing materials including event graphics, banners, and promotional content

  • Work with the design team to integrate 3D renderings and product imagery into presentations and marketing materials in ways that are visually cohesive and on-message

  • Help maintain and organize the Odys design asset library so the team can find and use approved materials quickly

  • Assist in evolving Odys’ visual identity by applying brand guidelines consistently across all outputs and flagging opportunities to strengthen them

What We’re Looking For
  • Currently enrolled in or recently graduated from a program in Graphic Design, Visual Communication, Industrial Design, or a related field

  • A portfolio (even early work, student projects, or freelance samples) that shows strong visual instincts: good layout, clear hierarchy, and an eye for composition and type

  • Working proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign), CAD software (Keyshot, Rhino, NX), and PowerPoint or Keynote; Figma is a plus

  • An interest in aviation, aerospace, or deep tech is a genuine advantage

  • Comfortable asking questions, taking feedback, and iterating quickly in a fast-paced startup environment

  • Strong attention to detail and organizational habits

What You’ll Gain
  • Real work that ships! Your designs will be seen by investors, partners, and customers, not buried in a folder

  • Mentorship from experienced designers and direct exposure to how a hardware startup communicates its story at a critical stage of growth

  • A portfolio-building experience that spans pitch decks, brand design, marketing assets, and visual storytelling

Please include a portfolio link or PDF samples of renderings and previous projects with your application. Work-in-progress and student projects are welcome.
