About Pyramid

Clinics, accelerator facilities, and equipment makers come to us when the signal is too small to trust, the timing too tight to miss, or the requirement too new to have a part number. We put physicists and engineers on it together, hold the design to what the measurement demands, and stay with the system until it performs in the field.

Since 1986

Pyramid Technical Consultants was founded in Massachusetts in 1986, building electronics and software for medical, semiconductor, physics, and biological research. The work has always started where standard instrumentation runs out.

We entered particle therapy in 2004 and now supply dosimetry, beam delivery, and control systems to clinics and OEMs worldwide, including programs bringing FLASH proton therapy and BNCT into clinical use.

Our engineers come from MIT, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Harvard, and from decades in medical and scientific instrumentation. Hardware, firmware, software, and manufacturing sit under one roof, so the people who specify a system are accountable for how it performs.

Right and easy are rarely the same answer. We build the right one.

Why Pyramid

Field-proven systems

Installed in particle therapy clinics, accelerator facilities, and precision measurement programs where off-the-shelf instrumentation could not meet the specification.
Shorter path to commissioning

Mature hardware, firmware, and software platforms that adapt to new requirements, so a program reaches a working system in far less time than a clean-sheet design.
Cross-disciplinary engineering

Physicists and engineers on one team, covering analog and digital design, radiation effects, software, and manufacturing, so the interfaces between domains are engineered rather than discovered late.
Sustained development

Ongoing platform R&D, so an installed system can follow changes in detectors, protocols, and facility requirements instead of being replaced by them.
OEM-ready platforms

Hardware and software designed to be integrated, configured, and branded as part of a larger product, including private-label programs.
Support from the design team

Commissioning, diagnostics, and maintenance from the engineers who built the system, remotely or on site, wherever in the world it is installed.

Guiding Principles

Vision

Push what measurement and control systems can do, so the people using them can attempt work that today's instruments would rule out.
Focus

Work where precision electronics, detectors, and real-time control decide whether a system succeeds. Treat physics, hardware, and software as one design, because that is where the hard failures hide.
Quality

Build for regulated clinical and research service: documented process, verification against measured performance, and hardware that stays serviceable for the life of the facility.
