DornerWorks to add positions serving aerospace, medical industries

By: Dan Calabrese

Touting progress in emerging markets, the engineering firm DornerWorks intends to add several positions in the upcoming quarter, following an increase of nine jobs in the first three months of this year and 25 positions last year.

DornerWorks, located at 3445 Lake Eastbrook SE, provides consulting in the field of electronics engineering to companies in a variety of industries, including automotive, aerospace and medical. Tim Walker, the company’s vice president of sales and marketing, says a concerted effort to pursue business in the latter two industries has played a crucial role in driving DornerWorks’s growth.

“In the last year, we moved into the medical market, so that turned out to be a good driver for us,” Walker says. “We also had a lot of growth from some of our aerospace customers.”

At present, DornerWorks employs 70 people, including electrical and software engineers. The company is owned by President and CEO David Dorner, who founded DornerWorks in 2000 after a seven-year career at GE Aviation, which was then known as Smiths Aerospace. The company moved to its present location in 2008.
