# Systems Integration Engineer

> Manna · Dublin, Ireland (Hybrid) · — · Posted 2026-05-20

**Workplace:** hybrid

## Description

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

## Requirements

-   2+ years experience in systems engineering, robotics, hardware integration, or similar
-   Hands-on experience working with software–hardware systems
-   Strong debugging skills across system boundaries (software, firmware, hardware)
-   Experience working with sensors (e.g. GPS, IMU, cameras, LiDAR)
-   Ability to analyse logs, telemetry, and system behaviour
-   Comfortable working in lab and real-world testing environments
-   Practical, problem-solving mindset — focused on getting systems working
-   Experience with Python, C++, or similar (for debugging, tooling, or analysis)
-   Portfolio to show off your work and interests!

**Nice to Have**

-   Experience with embedded or real-time systems
-   Experience in aviation, robotics, or safety-critical systems
-   Familiarity with system validation, failure modes, or FMEA-type thinking

 **Why This Role Matters**  
  
This is the team that answers:

**“Does the system actually work?”**

You’ll be at the centre of that — turning designs into working, reliable systems through testing, iteration, and experimentation.  
  
**Final Note**  
  
This role is hands-on, fast-moving, and grounded in reality. You’ll spend time in labs, on test sites, and working directly with the system — not just behind a desk.
