Our systems engineers focus on the entire product or system, considering the needs of end users as well as those of development, production, logistics, and support. We translate these needs into clear requirements and build analytical models to understand how to decompose the solution into logical components and functional behaviours. Our systems engineers work closely with the industrial design, mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, firmware development, and software development teams to deliver the best solutions for our clients.
We manage the evolution of technical solutions across all disciplines, documenting progress, outcomes and risks. Through the process we will clarify ambiguity and recommend a development path that will achieve your outcomes as efficiently as possible.

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.
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.
Microfleet set out to create OneDock, a secure EV docking, charging and locking system for shared-use electric vehicles, including bikes, trikes, and scooters, designed for installation in public spaces. Unlike existing micromobility docks, OneDock needed to be durable, connected, and easy to use, providing reliable charging and locking in all weather conditions while integrating seamlessly with fleet management networks.
Outerspace partnered with Microfleet from early development through to late alpha deployment. Our multidisciplinary team delivered mechanical, electronic, firmware, and industrial design, working alongside Microfleet’s software and business teams to shape a scalable, field-ready product. The result is a smart public infrastructure system that enables secure parking, charging, and data-driven fleet operation for next-generation electric mobility.
Global Kinetics set out to modernize their Personal KinetiGraph (PKG) smart watch — a device used to monitor Parkinson’s Disease tremors — to look and feel like an everyday wearable. The original version, essentially an accelerometer in a box, had evolved into a functional but clinical wrist-worn device. Global Kinetics needed a next-generation design that retained its powerful medical monitoring capabilities while removing the stigma of wearing an obvious medical device.
Outerspace partnered with Global Kinetics during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, navigating supply shortages and remote working challenges. By combining our expertise in medical device development, electronics, and industrial design, we helped transform the PKG watch into a discreet, smart, patient-friendly product ready for clinical and research applications.
