Pen R&D Lab: Creative Engineering Hub
Where wild ideas meet hardware reality
Who We Are
Pen R&D Lab is the newest arm of PenEngineering — a dedicated space for innovation, experimentation, and deep hardware exploration. Here, we bring together engineers, designers, and creators to push boundaries in embedded systems, IoT, prototyping, and custom electronics. We're passionate about open-source innovation and building the future of hardware, one experiment at a time.
What We Do
Community & Meetups
We host meetups on embedded systems, IoT, 3D printing — building a strong and curious community around hardware.
Internships & Education
Partnering with universities to offer student internships and real-world engineering exposure.
Experimental R&D Projects
We design and prototype custom devices, PCBs, and proof-of-concept hardware systems.
Open Source & Sharing
We open our learnings — sharing circuit designs, firmware, and experiment notes with the community.
Our Tools & Facility
3D Printing & Fabrication
FDM and resin printers for rapid prototyping, mechanical parts, and custom enclosures.
Electronics Workstation
Soldering stations, reflow ovens, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and debug tools for PCB work.
Testing & Assembly
Dedicated testing rigs, environmental monitoring, and precision assembly setups.
Why Collaborate With Us
Access to in-house prototyping and hardware expertise — from concept to working prototype
Flexibility for experimental or side-projects — we embrace the unconventional
Collaborative partner, not just vendor — we work alongside you to solve problems
Educational benefit — working alongside students brings fresh ideas and perspectives
Building The Things Network in Chișinău
We're thrilled to announce that we've started building The Things Network community in Chișinău! As our Akira Console continues to evolve with LoRa technology — just like several of our other open-source initiatives — we're expanding our commitment to IoT and LoRaWAN innovation.
If you share our enthusiasm for IoT, LoRaWAN, and open collaboration, we'd love for you to join us and help expand this amazing community. Let's connect, build, and make Chișinău smarter — together!
