Industrial fire and gas detection systems for high-risk operations
Det-Tronics manufactures flame and gas detection hardware for oil, gas, petrochemical, aerospace, and chemical industries—a hardware-first business reflected in its embedded-systems stack (ARM, STMicroelectronics, Silicon Labs, RTOS, Modbus). Engineering dominates hiring (27 roles), with active projects spanning product certification, international deployment, and a mobile app refresh, while pain points cluster around maintaining certifications, coordinating complex global projects, and advancing digitalization—all signals of a mature safety-critical business scaling across regulated markets.
Notable leadership hires: Robust Design Lead, Commercial Lead, Director of Operations
Det-Tronics designs and manufactures SIL 2-capable flame and gas detection systems used in high-risk industrial settings where false alarms and detection failures carry operational and safety costs. The product range spans optical flame detectors (UV, IR, Dual IR, Multispectral) and gas detectors (fixed-point, line-of-sight, acoustic, including NTMOS and electrochemical variants), configured for both point-to-point and addressable-loop architectures. Founded in 1973 and privately held, the company serves major global customers across oil & gas, petrochemicals, automotive, aerospace, munitions, and chemicals. Operations span the United States (headquarters in Bloomington, Minnesota) and Europe (active hiring in Italy, Spain, France, Norway, Germany) plus Singapore, with 201–500 employees and accelerating hiring velocity.
Hardware-centric: ARM, STMicroelectronics, Silicon Labs, RTOS. Engineering tools: AutoCAD, AutoCAD Electrical, Revit, Inventor, Visio, FMEA, 8D. Enterprise: JD Edwards, SAP, Oracle, Salesforce, Jira, Power BI, Active Directory. Industrial protocols: Modbus, LonWorks.
Mobile app (Autromaster), international project coordination, product certification testing, EHS process improvement, enhanced TPM systems, cross-functional commercial alignment, and strategic new-vertical pursuit.
