Why hire us?

We all want the same thing:
Work done, well, on-time.

Flexibility	Because things change and... No Drama.
Experience	We will design about 20 PCBAs this year, we did last year and the year before. They work, our firmware works, our software works.
We are good to work with	Most of our customers are repeat.
We deliver with pace	We can put engineers on projects in parallel.
Predictable schedule	Our project methodology emphasizes detailed planning.
We unload you	Fewer meetings, less management. We manage many projects each year, so you don’t have to.

Some of our
projects

PacBio

Our team is developing the control, monitoring and diagnosis modules of one of the PacBio sequencing machines through modular user interfaces and APIs.

Thermo Fisher GS3000

PowerBeam redesigned all the PCBAs of the Thermo Fisher GCS3000 and wrote firmware to make the new boards work.

BioCeryx PCR Analyzer

PowerBeam participated in firmware, software and electronics development of BioCeryx's PCR automated solution.

Lyft Amp

When you see the Lyft Amp, you are seeing PowerBeam hardware engineering. We worked on the most recent upgrade (and made the charging work better).

Auris Video Capture Board

PowerBeam designed the video capture for the Auris surgical robot. We do a lot of video work because most robots require it.

Deep Sentinel Wireless Security Camera

Deep Sentinel's high density, compact, multi- board wireless camera layout.

Velo3D Metal 3D printer

Electronic boards inside Velo's printers were designed and reccurently updated by our team of EEs.

Tortoise Wagon CDMX2.2

CDMX 2.2 is a four wheeled electrical vehicle, suited for remote control deliveries and mobile smart stores. Its cameras provide feedback, through the internet, to a tele-operator allowing it to navigate on diverse environments.
