About The Position

Manna is changing how the world receives things by taking delivery to the skies. Their mission is to make high-speed delivery affordable, green, and safe by designing and building their own aviation-grade drones. They are expanding operations in the United States and looking for a hands-on Field Maintenance Technician to join their team in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This role is an opportunity for an FAA A&P-certified technician to apply their aviation maintenance experience to one of the fastest-growing areas of aviation. The technician will be responsible for inspections, diagnostics, troubleshooting, and routine and non-routine maintenance across the aircraft fleet and supporting systems in Tulsa. As the first line of technical support on-site, they will play an important part in keeping the operation safe, reliable, and ready to fly. When technical issues arise, they will diagnose the problem, determine the appropriate solution, and work with Engineering, Flight Operations, Quality, and other technical teams to get the aircraft safely back in the air. Previous drone experience is not required; the focus is on strong aviation maintenance fundamentals applied to new aircraft technology.
