COLETEK is a founder-led Australian engineering company helping clients move from concept to prototype and toward production. We are strongest where electronics, embedded firmware, software, IoT connectivity, mechanics, and real-world constraints need to come together.
End-to-end services from early concepts and feasibility through to working prototypes, bespoke enclosure design, industrial design, and production-grade products.
Circuit schematics, PCB design, sensor integration, embedded firmware, control systems, connected devices, IoT wireless products, and cloud-connected systems.
Practical AI systems across computer vision, smart sensing, automation, and AI-enabled devices.
Robotics, precision motor control, sensor fusion, autonomy, and multidisciplinary mechatronic systems.
We are a strong fit for projects that need more than one discipline to work well together. That often includes hardware products, embedded devices, IoT connectivity, AI-enabled systems, intelligent machines, and technical prototypes that must perform outside the lab.
We can support the whole path from early technical review, research, architecture, enclosure and system design through to prototype build, testing, iteration, and production-readiness.
We also support clients earlier in the journey, including 1-day technical reviews, feasibility reviews, discovery work, and research into complex technical problems where the right next step is not yet clear.
Not every project should begin with a full build. A focused technical review can clarify risks, feasibility, architecture options, part selection, unit cost, and the most practical next step.
This is often a strong starting point for new product ideas, difficult technical problems, or projects needing independent engineering direction or peer review.
Below is a link to our YouTube channel and a rotating sample of public COLETEK work across product development, electronics, software, IoT solutions, AI-enabled devices, intelligent machines, and robotics. Refresh this page to see more randomly selected public portfolio examples. You can also visit our lab to see more in a private setting. Contact us if you would like examples more relevant to your industry, sector, or project type.
We do not try to be everything to everyone. We are best suited to technical product development, engineering discovery, and complex multidisciplinary work where the outcome needs to function in the real world.
"Great things take time. Great things evolve through talent, perseverance, iteration, and practical execution."

COLETEK have been absolutely fantastic in their support and manufacture of various components for us. Our designs are always bespoke, intricate and low volume and it’s great to have an Australian company like COLETEK as a trusted and quality manufacturer for our spacecraft mechanical components and assemblies – which have been flight proven through successful mission operations. Keep up the great work!
Working with COLETEK has been a pleasure. All parts we received are good quality and made exactly to our drawings, turnaround times were quick and never later than stated. Overall a great supplier and would recommend to any others interested in 3D Printing. Thank you!
I had a technical design and prototype job I needed done and had contacted two companies in Brisbane before I discovered COLETEK. From my first conversation with Luke, I knew that he was the best person for the job and he delivered under budget and within the required timeframe. The device he manufactured for my company will save us thousands of dollars and it is highly likely that we will on-sell the device to similar organisations. I recommend COLETEK for any design and prototype work you can imagine for your business.
Our first foray into the world of 3D printing brought us to COLETEK. We consider ourselves fortunate to have made this connection. COLETEK were accessible and easy to communicate with. They provided clear feedback and advice regarding the printing process, 3D file formats, resolution options and the likely time and costs involved. They provided prompt, invaluable service at a critical stage of product development, demonstrating a real understanding of our particular needs. The costs of services were totally appropriate and represented real added value to our final product. Thank you Luke and the team, we look forward to further opportunities to engage COLETEK.
Over five years, we've partnered with COLETEK to deliver a sensational end-to-end product. Their expertise across hardware and software development has streamlined and expedited our project to market, achieving great success.
I can say that I've only dealt once with Luke Cole at COLETEK and I found him to be very professional and helpful with his assessment of my device. His expertise and suggestions with regards to my invention was great, despite my pedestrian review of it and what I was hoping it could achieve. In the end his advice was paramount in my final decision as to whether I would move forward with the development of a prototype.
