Embedded systems engineering for aerospace, defense, medical, and industrial
DornerWorks designs and builds embedded systems—software, electronics, and FPGAs—for regulated industries where certification and reliability matter. The stack reveals a core competency in FPGA design (Xilinx Vivado, DDR3, SERDES) paired with embedded runtimes (FreeRTOS, Zephyr, Embedded Linux) and a growing mobile surface (iOS, Android, Swift, Kotlin, React Native), suggesting expansion beyond traditional firmware into connected medical and IoT products. Hiring is engineering-dominated (11 of 12 active roles) with mid-to-senior seniority, consistent with a customer-engineering model typical of defense and aerospace contractors.
DornerWorks is an embedded systems engineering firm founded in 2000 and based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, operating as a 100% employee-owned company. The firm serves aerospace, defense, medical, and industrial customers with custom hardware, software, and FPGA solutions, including specialized work in ARINC 653 hypervisors and cybersecurity. Current projects signal movement into connected medical and IoT product development. The company operates at 51–200 employees and is actively hiring across engineering roles.
FPGAs (Xilinx, Vivado), real-time kernels (FreeRTOS, Zephyr), embedded Linux variants (Yocto, OpenEmbedded), mobile platforms (iOS, Android), and custom electronics design via Altium and OrCAD. Also certified in ARINC 653 hypervisors and cybersecurity.
