Competencies and Characteristics

Embody safety: Responsible flight requires a meaningful and instinctual safety culture. We assess the risks, plan, mitigate, and learn from our mistakes so that others don’t have to.
Foster creative genius: We are curious. Thinking outside the box excites us and compels us to find ways to make the world a better place. We ask the hard questions others won’t to deliver products and services others cannot. We are undeterred by the unknown, explore new possibilities, and dive deeper to see the details others miss.
Distill the details: Complexity must be harnessed to leverage increasingly sophisticated tools and data. We develop intuitive understandings from this complexity and instill them into elegant products. And we simplify so that others understand clearly.

The Team

Whisper Aero is propelling quiet electric technologies from fans to flight. Everyday, the world harnesses the power of air to make our world more productive from fans cooling large data farms, to leaf blowers cleaning our yards, to propellers driving drones, aircraft, and more. But moving air has resulted in more and more noise, interrupting the peace and tranquility we expect in our homes and communities. As the world’s cities grow denser, noise becomes an increasingly critical barrier to our growing energy, data, delivery, and transportation needs.
At Whisper Aero, we use first-principles physics to develop products that make moving air cleaner, more efficient, and quiet enough to blend into the background, transforming the soundscape of our cities forever.
Whisper is proud to be an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer.
