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. |

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 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.
About Us
PowerBeam engineers work in board-level electronics, firmware, and software. We write the entire software stack from the drivers to the cloud.
