Systems Integration Engineer

At Manna, we’re changing how the world receives things — by taking delivery to the skies.

Our mission is simple but ambitious: to make high-speed suburban delivery affordable, green, and safe. We design and build our own aviation-grade drones that deliver food, coffee, groceries, and more directly from local stores and vendors to people’s doors in just a few minutes.

We’re a team that Drive with Impact, are Safety Focused, and knows that the best ideas come from Team Players who show up as their Authentic Selves. We move fast, we are passionate about what we do, and we’re always pushing a growth mindset to be better in everything we do.

If you want to build world-changing technology with real-world impact (and have a bit of fun while doing it), you’ll love it here.

Welcome to Manna — where we deliver the future.

Role Purpose  

We’re hiring a Systems Integration Engineer to work at the point where software, hardware, and flight systems come together.

This role is responsible for integrating and bringing up the drone system end-to-end — taking a holistic view across software, hardware, and flight systems, and using hands-on testing and experimentation to debug issues, understand system behaviour, and drive performance in real-world conditions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Integrate software, hardware, and flight subsystems across the drone platform
• Perform system bring-up, testing, and validation in lab and field environments
• Debug system-level issues spanning software, firmware, and hardware
• Analyse logs, telemetry, and test data to identify root causes of failures
• Design and run experiments to understand system behaviour and improve performance
• Validate system behaviour under normal and degraded conditions
• Support flight testing and investigation of real-world performance issues
• Work closely with software, hardware, and flight science teams to improve system performance
• Document system behaviour, test results, and findings to improve repeatability and understanding
• Support safety validation by identifying risks and providing test evidence to certification teams
