The engineers, developers, and electronics designers at Brisbane Electronics Design Services for Prototypes & Products bring together more than 50 years of combined experience in electronic circuit design, PCB layout, and embedded systems development, serving clients across Australia and internationally. From concept to prototype, we specialize in delivering complete electronic product development services—whether you need a simple microcontroller-based design or a complex, multilayer system with custom firmware and PC software integration.
Our core competencies include digital electronics, embedded software (firmware), wireless communication protocols (Bluetooth, Zigbee, LoRa, Wi-Fi), wireless charging solutions, and sensor/actuator interfacing. We design for real-world connectivity—linking your product to PCs, custom LCDs, industrial control systems, and cloud-based platforms.
Whether you're creating a new IoT device, an industrial automation controller, or a wearable electronic product, our team can assist from initial concept and schematic capture to PCB prototyping, firmware development, and final product testing. We are fluent in embedded platforms such as STM32, ESP32, Atmel AVR, ARM Cortex-M, and work with real-time operating systems and Linux-based embedded environments.
Our electronic design capabilities are complemented by compliance with globally recognized standards. We develop to the following IEEE and IPC standards for quality, reliability, and consistency in both prototyping and production stages:
- IPC-7711A/7721A – Rework and repair standards for electronics
- IPC-A-600G – Acceptability of printed circuit boards
- IPC-A-610D – Electronic assemblies acceptability criteria
- IPC/WHMA-A-620 – Requirements for cable and wire harness assemblies
- ISO 9001:2000 – Quality management systems
Some of Our Electronics Experience
Our CTO, Luke Cole, brings extensive experience in applied robotics and GPS-based automation systems. He previously worked as a "Robotics Engineer" at Hemisphere GPS, where he developed auto-guidance solutions for agricultural vehicles such as tractors and quadbikes.
Luke also contributed to advanced location-tracking technologies during his time at Location Aware Technologies (433), developing indoor positioning systems for commercial and industrial use. He has worked on cutting-edge research projects for Australia's most prestigious institutions, including NICTA, CSIRO, and the ANU Robotics Systems Lab, led by Prof. Alex Zelinsky.
Lance Cole has also worked at NICTA and brings deep experience in high-reliability hardware development. He previously worked for a defense technology contractor building advanced military systems, including contributions to the EOS project, where he helped engineer components for the Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station (CROWS) used by the US military.
Our knowledge base began in New South Wales (NSW) and the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), but we now primarily serve clients across East Coast Queensland, including Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, and the Gold Coast.

Brisbane Electronics Design Services for Prototypes & Products – Selected Client Testimonials
This is a sample of public feedback from a broader range of client work.
In the development of our new product Smart Syphon we had a tight deadline to launch the commercial version of our product and experienced some issues with our drawings. Luke and his team dealt with the issues, worked through the week-end and delivered a quality outcome on time.
Luke from COLETEK has assisted us on a number of occasions and has always been helpful, courteous and understanding of our needs. There was an instance when timing was of the essence and Luke was able to prioritise our job to ensure we weren't affecting our customers in a negative way. He is highly recommended.
Luke (COLETEK) did an amazing job helping me take an idea through technical design, proof of concept and prototype development. Luke immediately understood the requirements, delivered to a budget, within the required timeframe and the whole process was extremely professional. I highly recommend for any design and prototype work you can imagine.
After approaching COLETEK with a few sketches of a plumbing tool I had in mind Luke and I immediately bounced a few ideas around. Leaving things with Luke he quickly produced some 3D images and ideas we subsequently used. Before long COLETEK produced an operational 3D printed prototype of the tool. I was then able to use this prototype to seek funding for further research and development.
I consulted COLETEK for some work, commencing in 2014, and haven’t looked back. The project was very important to me, and COLETEK not only saw that but exuded sincere enthusiasm about the project; they are attentive, and thorough in their research and development service. They are a wealth of information and advice, for many aspects of the entire engineering and commercialization space, and this has been invaluable to me. I look forward to continuing work with them long into the future!
I would thoroughly recommend COLETEK they provided me with excellent feedback and engineering knowledge with regards to our idea. They also have continued to help us with what direction we should take and introduced us to other professionals that have also guided us. I suggest anyone who has been thinking of something they would like to pursue should contact them to get the most realistic approach of making it successful.
We worked with Luke from COLETEK to develop a prototype for a new venture. Luke was able to give us practical advice on how to execute the project inline with our budget that was super useful. What has been endearing, is that even after the build was complete, Luke continues to touch base with us offering help to keep the momentum of the project going forward.
We used COLETEK on a small project involving mechanical and electronic design aspects as well as software development. COLETEK understood our requirements at the outset and worked to accommodate our needs. The whole process was professionally conducted and we highly recommend COLETEK
We met with Luke Cole from COLETEK and very quickly realised that he was very knowledgeable in robotics and prototyping. What separates his company from the rest, is that he had a unique value proposition - COLETEK offers a tele-operated / robotic unit for rent and with the flexibility to be modified to build proof-of-concepts. That unit lowered both the cost and time for us to produce a video showing a very challenging concept. In general COLETEK's service was great value. We would recommend them - they will get it done.
Luke and the team do a amazing job. Extremly happy from start to finish
