Autonomous drone delivery platform for food and essentials
Manna Air Delivery operates a drone delivery service targeting 3-minute delivery windows for food and essentials in urban markets. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward embedded systems (FreeRTOS, STM32, PX4, ArduPilot, ROS) and autonomy (MATLAB, Simulink, GNSS, LiDAR), with production-grade infrastructure (AWS, PostgreSQL, Snowflake) backing the operations. Engineering dominates the 26-person hiring pipeline (16 of 26 open roles), concentrated at senior and lead levels — a pattern that signals the company is scaling from prototype toward production operations while tackling firmware safety and battery chemistry transitions simultaneously.
Manna Air Delivery is an Ireland-based drone delivery operator launched in 2019, headquartered in Dublin. The company offers on-demand delivery of groceries, food, and essentials via autonomous fixed-wing and rotorcraft platforms, with target delivery times of 3 minutes in served areas. Active projects span production scaling (battery commissioning, BMS integration, factory layout planning), thermal and structural optimization, and automation of test frameworks — indicating transition from early-stage validation toward mid-rate manufacturing. Current hiring focuses on engineering roles across firmware, avionics, and systems integration, with secondary expansion into US market operations and supply chain.
Embedded systems (FreeRTOS, STM32, PX4, ArduPilot, ROS/ROS 2), autonomy software (MATLAB, Simulink, GNSS, LiDAR), backend (AWS, PostgreSQL, Snowflake), frontend (React, TypeScript, JavaScript), and low-level protocols (I2C, UART, CAN).
Headquartered in Dublin, Ireland. Currently hiring in Ireland and the United States, with active US market launch preparation underway.
