At Odys, we’re building an advanced vertical takeoff and landing hybrid aircraft for major airlines. This will cut travel time in half on the world’s busiest routes by using city helipads and local airports. More than 40% of all flights worldwide are less than 1,000 miles - let’s skip the airport and make these routes sustainable. Check out our intro video and TechCrunch article for more details.

We’re a team of expert engineers from deep tech and aerospace, working to remove the hassles of flying and reduce CO2 emissions for travelers globally. Previously, our team has built and flown custom drones. We’ve brought multiple automotive platforms into production. We’ve 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.

Are you passionate about applying your Aerodynamics knowledge to the solution of novel problems? Can you mix low and high-fidelity tools in order to achieve efficient designs that deliver aero performance, save mass and are easy to manufacture? Do you want to join a talented team, furthering your engineering abilities and driving innovation at a crucial stage in the development life cycle of our products?

The Aerodynamics team is responsible for the design of all exterior surfaces of the vehicle and for delivering the performance that will ensure the commercial success of our products. We use best-in-class simulation and experimental tools to generate the datasets that drive our development. As an intern you will get exposure and be supporting our activities. To be a successful candidate you are expected to have advanced knowledge about aircraft aerodynamics and flight mechanics.

The desired term for this internship is about 3 months in summer 2024. Exact dates are flexible depending on the candidate.

Your Responsibilities:

• Support the Aerodynamic Design with low- and high-fidelity simulations.
• Support the development of new tools for aerodynamic analysis.
• Documentation of your work and communication with the team

• BSc or higher in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering
• Fundamental understanding of aircraft performance analysis and predictions.
• Knowledge various aerodynamic analysis techniques, including hand calculations, VLM/panel methods, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
• Programming experience in Python/MATLAB
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills 

• Experience using low/high fidelity numerical simulations platform (STARCCM , AVL, OpenVSP, XFOIL, XROTOR)
• Experience in student associations projects (like AIAA build-design-fly)
