What’s unique about Altaeros?

Altaeros has big goals- delivering the next generation of infrastructure to those who need it most. Accomplishing those big goals requires innovation, creativity, and a bias toward action.

As a team, we push ourselves outside of our comfort zones. Sometimes that leads to success, and other times it leads to failure. Nevertheless, we believe that with failure comes learning, and as long as we are continuously learning, we are unstoppable.

A Conversation About the Creation of the ST-Flex and the Altaeros Team with VP of Engineering, Sheri Palazzo

Meet Sheri Palazzo, Altaeros’ VP of Engineering! Sheri leads our team of world-class engineers who design and build our autonomous aerostats: SuperTowers. Sheri has an extensive background in product design and development, and she still claims that Altaeros is her favorite job ever! Our latest product, ST-Flex went from a design on a piece of paper to a fully working system in just over a year. It’s all thanks to our incredible team who put the work in.  Watch our new video to hear Sheri discuss how we built the ST-Flex and the team behind it!

From Our Employees

“I have two favorite parts of my job. The first is working and collaborating with other departments and engineers outside of my field. The second is flying aerostats! I have been flying aerostats for ten years now, first with the military in Afghanistan, then State-side at the border, and now here at Altaeros. Some people are hesitant to work at Altaeros because they don’t know anything about aerostats. I tell them, I can teach anyone to fly an aerostat, don’t be afraid to jump in and learn! As long as you are motivated, willing to push yourself, and humble enough to learn from others you will fit at Altaeros and we can teach you everything you need to know.”

Jason Sorinmade

Director of Flights

“Altaeros is doing things that have never been done before.  This means making use of every tool and technology available, both “new tech” and “old school”.  My career has taken me from vacuum tubes and transistors, to chips and microprocessors, to software and virtualization.  Any and all of these techniques can be useful.  We work hard in our specialties, but also across specialties; we have to collaborate well, to make this work.  If someone has a new idea, no one says “that’s crazy”.  Instead, they say “see if it’s possible.”  If it is, we find a way to make it work.  We are excited about bringing new products to life; for me, it’s more like play than work, because I love what we do.”

Josh Aranov

RF Field Engineer

“If I had to describe the culture at Altaeros in 5 adjectives I would say: Innovative, Ambitious, Fast-Paced, Respectful, and FUN! When creating a completely new product things can change very quickly but problems are met with collaboration and support from the whole team. The goal is to innovate, fix, and move on – there’s no blame game here and small wins are celebrated. I find it to be a very respectful community where everyone appreciates what the others bring to the table. We work hard but being part of a team that cares about their product and each other actually leads to a lot of fun!”

Ellen Smith

Project Manager

“It sounds cliché, but what I love the most are the people at Altaeros. I think we have done a fantastic job of recruiting people from truly diverse backgrounds who all add to our culture, at the core of which is openness. Everyone here feels the security to speak their mind without fear of looking bad or being shut down. This openness allows us to have civilized conversations about anything and everything, from technical challenges, different work methodologies, to anything else. Working at a startup means wearing many hats and being ready to jump into various tasks and give a helping hand. This also gives you the opportunity to work across different teams and technical disciplines. By doing so you can learn new and exciting technologies, get to know all of our fabulous team, and grow in the process.”

Wei Guo

Senior Dynamics Modeling Engineer

“As an Electrical Engineer, I get to work on almost every part of the system – and aerostats are very complex systems! This means I interface with many teams from mechanical engineering, to software, to manufacturing, and more.  At other jobs, you might only get to work with people within your own team, but it couldn’t be more different here. I love the fact that I get to collaborate with many people from different teams and backgrounds. Every day, I get to do something different. It’s really exciting to go to work and focus on a brand-new challenge every day. I just finished my first year at Altaeros and learned a lot! We designed and built an entirely new system. It’s so rewarding to take a big project from start to finish and I’m so excited to see what comes next”
