Are you looking for Fawcetts Plain electronic product design services for a unique idea not yet available on the market? Need an experienced circuit designer or professional PCB (printed circuit board) design expert to bring your innovation to life? Whether you're seeking a proof-of-concept, schematic and layout review, embedded programming support, or complete end-to-end electronic engineering services, Electronic Design Services for Fawcetts Plain has the expertise to deliver.
Our team has decades of combined experience in electronic design, circuit development, prototyping, and low-to-medium volume production consulting. We also specialize in embedded firmware programming for microcontrollers and SoCs. With deep experience using a variety of industry-standard and open-source EDA tools, we're well-positioned to meet the needs of startups, research labs, manufacturers, and inventors.
Our electronic design journey began in the 1990s using Protel, now known as Altium Designer. Today, while still proficient in Altium for legacy projects, we prefer open-source tools such as gEDA, Lepton-EDA, pcb-rnd, KiCad, and Eagle. Using gEDA’s modular structure, we’ve developed powerful internal tools with Python scripts that auto-generate footprints, BOMs, and price lists by integrating with services like Octopart and DigiKey APIs. These automations reduce project time and cost, improving efficiency for our clients.
Our Fawcetts Plain custom electronics expertise covers a wide spectrum:
We understand that a scalable electronic product often hinges on the firmware layer. A well-selected microcontroller (MCU) or microprocessor (MPU) allows flexibility, reusability, and remote upgrades. We have extensive experience developing embedded firmware and also offer services across:
Our Linux-based development environment, often on Ubuntu/Debian, enables us to run robust development toolchains. Our programming skill set spans C, C++, Python, Bash, JavaScript, and more—allowing us to write firmware, APIs, backend logic, and even full-stack applications when needed.
Of course, no product is complete without physical validation. Our Fawcetts Plain PCB assembly and prototyping process ensures reliable testing and debugging. We typically have PCBs fabricated overseas (China) with a 5-day turnaround, using custom stencils for precise surface-mount technology (SMT). We complete in-house reflow soldering using a reflow oven and perform through-hole and fine-pitch rework with manual soldering tools. Our team is comfortable working with 0603 components and smaller.
Our CTO, Luke Cole, previously worked as a "Robotics Engineer" at Hemisphere GPS (now AgJunction), where he implemented GPS-guided auto-navigation systems for agricultural machinery including tractors and quadbikes. His background includes developing indoor tracking systems for Location Aware Technologies (433 MHz), and he has contributed to advanced R&D initiatives at NICTA, CSIRO, and the ANU Robotics Systems Lab led by Alex Zelinsky.
Lance Cole has also contributed to NICTA and led hardware development projects for military-grade systems at EOS, including the Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station (CROWS) used by the U.S. military—demonstrating our deep capability in high-reliability electronics.
Whether you’re building a custom sensor board, developing an embedded IoT product, or designing the next big wearable device, Electronic Design Services for Fawcetts Plain offers the full stack of electronic design services—from idea to working prototype and beyond.

Contact UsI was grateful to find Luke Cole at COLETEK in the early days of an invention idea. He was very patient and generous with information to guide me along the way. And even though I did not preceed with my project, I would still recommend his services. Thank you.
I have been working closely with COLETEK for the past 6 years now, and I must say, it is a success story :-). I highly respect their team, they are a pleasure to work with and top skilled professionals. In addition to their top Technical service, their customer service is brilliant and it is a rare find. Their PCB repair rework skills are top notch and a rare find in this industry. I have been working in the IT industry for the past 20 years in various fields and seen it all so I can say with certainty that they are the best around and I am looking forward to keep working with them in the future.
COLETEK have provided one to one communication throughout the development process and gone above and beyond in bringing our ideas closer to becoming a reality! Luke's expertise and knowledge with computer software and electronics is Jedi like, but what I liked most about working with him was his willingness and ability to think outside of the box.
As the proprietor a DIY environmentally pest control products business I have been more then impressed with COLETEK's design capability and professionalism in assisting to realise an idea into reality. From concept, CAD drawings, 3D modelling, alterations right through to the finished product. I am extremely happy with our new termite control product. I have no hesitation in recommending COLETEK's services.
I recently discovered COLETEK after I accidently managed to fry the PCB on my hard drive. The drive contained 13 years worth family photos and wasn't comfortable sending it off where it could be damaged more or lost in the post. After spending hours researching and emailing different data recovery companies, I decided on COLETEK. Luke was very helpful and let me know the estimated costs up front, and was able to quickly do the repairs necessary to get my drive running like new again. I was able to back up the whole drive and the bill ended up cheaper than the original quote. I can highly recommend them and have already sent a friend to get their drive repaired too.
Intuitive, innovative & efficient are three words that would appropriately describe the COLETEK service. Luke and the team at COLETEK have taken our concepts to the next level.
