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.\nWe’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.\nIf 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.\nWelcome to Manna - where we deliver the future.\nRole Purpose\nThe Senior Electronics Engineer will be responsible for the design, development, integration, and validation of electronic hardware systems that support the company's products and technology platforms. Working closely with cross-functional teams, the role will contribute to the delivery of reliable, high-performance, and manufacturable electronic solutions from concept through to production.\nThe successful candidate will apply strong electronic design and problem-solving skills across a range of hardware development activities, including schematic design, PCB development, hardware integration, testing, and product improvement. They will support the development of embedded, sensor, power, and wireless communication systems while ensuring designs meet performance, quality, and regulatory requirements.\nRequirements\nSkills & Experience\n(The following are desirable but not mandatory)\nMixed-signal electronic design, including schematic capture, PCB layout, and hardware validation across advanced PCB technologies such as HDI, rigid-flex, flex, and controlled-impedance designs.\nHigh-speed digital interface design and integration, including Ethernet, USB, DDR, CAN, I²C, RS-485, and embedded processing platforms.\nRF system design and integration for GNSS, LTE/5G, WLAN, telemetry, Remote ID, and other wireless communication systems.\nStrong understanding of signal integrity, power integrity, EMC/ESD design, grounding, shielding, impedance control, and RF coexistence.\nPower system design including battery-powered systems, battery management systems (BMS), LDOs, SMPS regulators, thermal considerations, and noise management.\nAntenna integration and RF optimization, including matching networks, S-parameter analysis, MIMO/diversity architectures, and mitigation of enclosure and environmental effects.\nSensor integration and optimisation, including GNSS, inertial sensors, radar, LiDAR, machine vision, and other sensing technologies.\nHands-on hardware debugging and characterisation using oscilloscopes, logic analysers, spectrum analysers, vector network analysers (VNA), and related test equipment.\nDesign for manufacturability and assembly (DFM/DFA), certification, qualification testing, and production support.\n5+ years of experience\nKey Responsibilities\nLead the design, development, and validation/test of complex electronic and RF subsystems from concept through production.\nOwn schematic design, PCB layout, and hardware integration for mixed-signal, embedded, and RF systems.\nArchitect and optimise high-speed digital, power, sensor, and wireless communication interfaces to meet performance, reliability, and regulatory requirements.\nIntegrate microcontrollers, processors, sensors, wireless modules, and battery systems into scalable production-ready platforms.\nLead RF front-end, antenna, and wireless system integration activities, ensuring robust link performance across operational environments.\nApply signal integrity, power integrity, EMC/ESD, thermal, and RF best practices throughout the design lifecycle.\nPerform laboratory characterisation, debugging, and root-cause analysis using industry-standard test equipment.\nSupport certification, manufacturing transfer, field testing, and continuous product improvement activities.\nCollaborate closely with cross-functional teams to deliver high-performance, reliable, and manufacturable products.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4241,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Transportation
