Precision micromachining and electroplating for aerospace and defense
Sorenson Engineering operates a vertically integrated precision manufacturing facility with 65+ years in micromachining, electroplating, and contact assembly. The tech stack is manufacturing-native (Keyence metrology, CNC, Autodesk CAD/Vault, Epicor ERP) with no advanced adopters, suggesting a company focused on operational efficiency within traditional constraints. Active hiring across engineering, manufacturing, and operations—with mid-level roles dominating—tracks against their projects in CAD standardization, process digitization, and automation, pointing to internal scaling rather than new product lines.
Sorenson Engineering manufactures precision-machined components and assemblies for aerospace, defense, and electronics customers. The company holds AS9100C and ISO 9001 certifications, plus NADCAP accreditations for heat treatment and chemical processing, including a gold-plating facility. Founded in 1956 and based in Yucaipa, California, the firm employs 501–1,000 people across manufacturing, engineering, quality, and operations. Current priorities include digitizing product and manufacturing data, implementing CAD standards, automating routine decision-making, and reducing process waste.
