Low Volume Production at Motivo

Build What You Need, When You Need It

At Motivo, low volume production isn’t just about making a handful of units, it’s about building early versions the right way. We support product teams that need fast, high-quality hardware to validate, pilot, or launch. Whether you're delivering customer evaluation units, preparing for testing, or seeding pre-commercial inventory, our integrated design-to-build pipeline ensures quality, traceability, and manufacturability. From high-mix assemblies to pre-production optimization, we help you transition from prototype to scalable production with minimal risk.

How We Build Impact

From Prototype to Pilot-Ready

We specialize in building functional, robust, and presentable units that bridge the gap between early-stage prototypes and full-scale manufacturing.

Production With Flexibility

Our shop is built for high-mix, low-volume runs, ideal for hardware startups, R&D programs, and companies operating outside traditional contract manufacturing volumes.

Quality Built In

We implement custom quality inspection processes and documentation so every unit we build is consistent, trackable, and reliable.

Manufacturing Optimization

We refine your designs with a DFM mindset and prepare clean documentation for seamless handoff to high-volume manufacturing partners.

15 Years of Motivo: Engineering Bold Ideas Into Reality

From a Garage to Global Impact Fifteen years ago, Motivo began in a 2,000 square foot garage with two engineers and two projects. The coffee was basic, the tools were limited, and the focus was sharp. The goal was to take ideas off the whiteboard and turn them into hardware that worked in the real world. That same spirit still drives the team today, even as the facilities and projects have grown. Building Hard Things in Hardtech Motivo has never taken on easy projects. The te

Physical AI: The Shift That Will Redefine How We Build, Work, and Live

Physical AI is rapidly beginning to show up everywhere, on conference panels, in product roadmaps, and across almost every forward looking tech conversation. However, beneath the buzz, there is a real movement happening. After sitting down with Damon Pipenberg, CTO at Motivo, it became very clear that Physical AI isn’t just another trend. It’s the next phase of how machines will operate in our world, combining data, intelligence, sensors, software, and hardware into systems t

AutoMobility LA 2025 recap

AutoMobility LA 2025 marked a significant turning point for the industry. For years, electrification, autonomy, intelligence, and design have developed separately. This event made it very clear that these distinct avenues are no longer developing in parallel, but are now rapidly coming together into one unified ecosystem, a present reality, not a future promise. Every unveiling, every keynote, every technical exchange pointed toward one idea: The future of mobility is no long
