Are you looking for Garland Valley electronic product design services for a unique idea not yet available on the market? Need an experienced circuit designer, mixed-signal/ADC engineer, 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, Electronics Design Services for Garland Valley 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 Garland Valley custom electronics expertise covers a wide spectrum:
- Analog and digital circuit design
- ADC front-end design and signal conditioning (current, voltage, resistance, and mixed-signal sensing)
- RF design and wireless communication protocols (WiFi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, proprietary long-range RF)
- Microcontroller platforms: TI MSP430, ST STM32, ESP32, FPGA
- Battery and power systems: PMIC, Li-Ion/Li-Po charging, wireless (inductive) charging
- Sensor integration: IMU, accelerometers, gyros, image sensors, lidar, radar, ultrasonic, IR, and industrial instrumentation sensors
- Motor and actuator control: brushed and brushless DC motors (BLDC), servos, steppers, pneumatics, hydraulics
- IoT device development and wearable electronics (e.g., LilyPad, conductive thread)
- Input protection and robust interface design (ESD/TVS, surge, opto, ferrite, current-limiting, polyfuse, reverse polarity, miswiring)
- Compliance-minded design for harsh environments (industrial and marine applications)
- Cost-effective embedded Linux solutions (from minimal userspace builds to full SBC platforms)
Not sure which platform fits best? Here's a simple starting point (we'll tailor it to your objectives):
- Need Linux, camera, vision, "PC-like" apps → Raspberry Pi or NVIDIA Jetson
- Need on-device AI/ML inference (vision/audio/anomaly detection) → Raspberry Pi / NVIDIA Jetson, or AI-capable MCUs (e.g., STM32-class) for lightweight models
- Need Wi-Fi/BLE built-in → ESP32
- Need hard real-time + rich peripherals → STM32
- Need "sip power for a year" sensing → MSP430 (and other ultra-low-power MCU families)
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:
- Application software development for desktop and mobile
- GUI design for user interfaces on embedded systems and control panels
- Cross-platform development using Linux, Windows, and macOS (typically via VirtualBox or Docker)
- Full-stack web development for connected device dashboards
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 Garland Valley 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. We design for reliability in harsh environments, including marine and industrial conditions where protection and compliance considerations matter.
Just a small glimpse of the custom electronics that power full-stack products we’ve built for clients.
Electronics Design Services for Garland Valley and Prototyping Experience
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, Electronics Design Services for Garland Valley offers the full stack of electronic design services—from idea to working prototype and beyond.

Electronics Design Services for Garland Valley – Amazing Customer Testimonials
COLETEK installed a real-time wireless security camera system for us consisting of 40 indoor and outdoor cameras over 10 buildings throughout the resort and service station. Their team was very professional from quote to completion of the job, and after sales service. The system has reduced vandalism and theft to almost nothing. We have been very happy with the installation and service. We would recommend COLETEK to anyone.
We found COLETEK to be very knowledgeable and professional in the installation of our security system, even after the job has been completed COLETEK is always happy to follow up with any questions that may arise.. I would highly recommend COLETEK for anyone looking at security for peace of mind.
Very reliable, professional and knowledgeable. In our office were we all amazed by Luke's knowledge of IT and how much he know about different IT issues, specially about the IP cameras. We recommend their services and we will always use their services in the future.
COLETEK installed real-time wireless security camera systems within our seven Holiday Parks, consisting of 31 cameras spread over multiple buildings and locations. I found the team at COLETEK to be very professional throughout the installation process and the completed system to be highly proficient for our business. I would recommend using COLETEK for your security needs.
Thank you for installing the surveillance system at our home in the Northern Rivers. It gives us a great sense of security to know that our home and possesses can be monitored remotely and all activities recorded. Thanks also for giving up your time on the weekend to arrange for back up parts to be picked up following storm damage.
COLETEK installed a security camera system in our food processing facility that included 89 cameras both internal and external to the factory. They were professional through the quotation and installation process and have been supportive with their after sales service. Based on our experience we would have no hesitation in recommending COLETEK to anyone searching for customised surveillance camera solution.
Great service, great equipment.
