What Leaders Say

“smartbrain.io cut our time-to-hire from 6 weeks to 4 days.” As Head of Hardware at Phoenix Audio, I onboarded two Product Development engineers who refactored our DSP firmware immediately. Their seamless integration boosted sprint velocity 27% and freed my core team to focus on acoustic innovation.

Sandra Hayes

VP Engineering

Phoenix Audio Systems

“The vetting depth is unmatched.” smartbrain.io’s multi-stage assessments meant the outstaffed engineer for our medical-device project arrived FDA-ready. Documentation quality improved and verification cycles shortened, saving us a full quarter in the 510(k) path.

Michael Porter

Regulatory CTO

MedCore Labs

“Scalable contracts are a lifesaver.” We ramped from one to four robotics firmware specialists during peak season and scaled back after launch without penalties. Productivity stayed high and our OPEX stayed predictable.

Alicia Gomez

Director of R&D

HoverBotix Inc.

“24/7 zone coverage.” With outstaffed Product Development engineers across EST and CET, our FinTech hardware line progressed around the clock. Board spins happened 30% faster and customer issues were resolved by morning.

Thomas Lee

Product Development Manager

SecurePay Devices

“Zero onboarding friction.” The engineer arrived with our stack cloned, CI pipeline configured and passed code review day one. That momentum kept our Solar inverter release on schedule despite component shortages.

Emily Chen

Senior PM

HelioGrid Energy

“Risk-free replacement truly works.” One engineer didn’t fit our culture; smartbrain.io swapped him within 3 days, no downtime. The new hire optimised motor-control loops and hit KPIs in the first sprint.
