Our electronic engineers are focused on the embedded systems of products. Electronic engineering starts with requirements and early strategic architecture decisions depending on the goals of the project and product. At outerspace, electronic engineering focuses on the electronic hardware for sensing, control, and communication of devices, including wireless communication linking into IoT.
We define a product into tangible components, with electronics architecture and specification. We apply circuit design and engineering, using simulation tools. Using Altium Designer our team designs detailed PCB schematic capture and layout. By providing fast turn-around prototyping using product partners, with small batch assembly we meet project goals. We test and verify prototypes; and create the software for your hardware with firmware development for embedded systems.

A developer of interactive fitness equipment with integrated gaming software, needed to develop a new combination spin and exercise bike for the boutique gymnasium and home gym markets.
They wanted to develop a never-seen-before bike that had two distinct modes of operation – spin and exercise bike mode to be housed in one hardware system, operated by a touch screen and supported by their software.
Outerspace’s multidisciplinary team worked with the managing director of LRM Technologies and researchers at DST Group, to design the 1mK thermal camera that quantifies the stresses that cause metal fatigue in aircraft. LRM, a distributor of lasers and thermal imaging cameras, own the licence to apply Defence Science and Technology group software to a thermal camera product idea. LRM’s managing director had a very clear idea about what the DST Group technology could achieve and needed a clear product roadmap to a successful physical product outcome. Outerspace collaborated with LRM and DST Group to clearly identify and plan the product format and pathway needed to create this revolutionary thermal camera.
Light My Bricks approached Outerspace to help expand beyond their maker-focused lighting accessories for LEGO®, with a goal of creating a consumer-friendly product range. The challenge was to design a system that was simple, safe, and intuitive, while still allowing flexibility and integration into LEGO® sets.
Outerspace’s task was to reimagine the electronics, usability, and product architecture to deliver a new Night Mode range — one that could bring lighting effects to LEGO® creations without the complexity of traditional wiring.
Many communities in remote regions lack reliable access to clean drinking water, relying instead on unsafe or expensive systems. Water Source Australia set out to change this with Brolga, a remote-controlled micro water treatment plant designed to provide safe, continuous drinking water anywhere in the world.
Outerspace partnered with Water Source to take an early-stage prototype and transform it into a manufacturable product. Our role included developing the architecture, electronics, firmware, and mechanical systems, while working closely with Water Source’s software and water treatment experts. Together, we shaped a system capable of producing up to 30,000 litres of safe drinking water a day, suitable for installation in the toughest environments.
