DRIVE Developments hires 2, plans to double staff

metromode, 6/25/2009
Ever wonder what makes the vehicles and robots in the U.S. military go? DRIVE Developments does.

The Sterling Heights-based firm specializes in diagnostics and controls for those types of vehicles. The company has turned this into a business with about a dozen people, up from just one person when it started three years ago. It has already hired two more so far this year.

"We're looking at doubling the size of our staff within the next year," says Larry Osentoski, CEO and founder of DRIVE Developments.

It has been able to do that by expanding its client base into different agencies in the U.S. Department of Defense. It expects to continue this in the near future as it develops new products.

"We're developing a lot of new technologies that we expect to present to the military for funding," Osentoski says.
