Growing electronics engineering firm finds niche in aerospace industry

The FAA, FDA, Stryker, and X-Rite all know what a local company can accomplish with embedded safety-critical electronics components and systems: save lives. National expansion is on the horizon for this enterprising firm.

According to excerpts from the story:

Despite doubling its staff in each of the past four years, local electronics engineering firm DornerWorks Ltd. is still in the enviable position of having more work than it can take on.

The 28-employee firm designs embedded electronics components and systems, with a particular specialty in safety-critical systems. While it works in a variety of fields, its largest market is currently aerospace systems, a highly regulated expertise the company hopes to expand nationally.

"As one client told us, 'If a plane goes down, you may lose 200 people. If a medical device goes down, you lose one,'" said Tim Walker, the firm's director of business development. "That's what makes Dorner special. We're able to work in these safety-critical markets."
