AALTO Tech Stack
Solar-powered stratospheric aircraft platform for persistent Earth observation and connectivity
AALTO manufactures Zephyr, a solar-powered high-altitude platform capable of continuous flight for months — currently holding a 67+ day endurance record. The company operates as an Airbus subsidiary and is actively scaling production and ground infrastructure (5 engineering, 3 manufacturing, 3 ops roles posted in the last 30 days). The tech stack is heavily weighted toward aerospace systems integration (SolidWorks Electrical, Primavera, 8D/FMEA) and cloud-based operations management (Azure, Dynamics 365), reflecting both hardware complexity and the logistics required to support persistent stratospheric operations.
