Why hire us?

team

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

Why hire us?
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.

This is what we do

Some of our
projects

PacBio

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

Thermo Fisher GS3000


PowerBeam redesigned all the PCBAs of the Thermo Fisher GCS3000 and wrote firmware to make the new boards work. Then PowerBeam helped with NPI, including procurement support and manufacturing test design and implementation.
BioCeryx PCR Analyzer

BioCeryx PCR Analyzer


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

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

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 Wireless Security Camera


Deep Sentinel's high density, compact, multi- board wireless camera layout.
Velo3D Metal 3D printer

Velo3D Metal 3D printer


Electronic boards inside Velo's printers were designed and reccurently updated by our team of EEs.
Tortoise Wagon CDMX2.2

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. PowerBeam designed this vehicle and introduced it to manufacturing at the Metalsa plant in Monterrey, Mexico.

SLAC

SLAC silicon and the aluminum fixture


Powerbeam designed and fabricated the silicon structure and an aluminum fixture to support SLAC's electron acceleration experiments. These experiments use plasmonic effects to increase electron energy, compress them, and strengthen their lateral fields. We also consulted on beam alignment, and the project is ongoing.
