Australia's electronics manufacturing capability has been offshored, consolidated, and quietly forgotten — until now. Government policy, defence programs, and hard-won industry experience are all pointing in the same direction: we need to build it here. Masters & Young has been doing exactly that since 1997. Sovereign manufacturing is not a trend. It is a capability we have been building for 29 years.

Sovereign manufacturing isn't a buzzword on a tender response. It's a procurement requirement. Masters & Young has been designing and manufacturing PCBs in Brisbane since 1997. ISO 9001:2015 certified. AS 9100D certified. DISP Member. JOSCAR-AU Registered. AIDN Member. Trusted by Boeing Defence Australia, Thales, and Rheinmetall Defence Australia on programs including Land 2072 Phase 2B and LAND 400 Phase 2. If your next project needs a Defence-ready electronics partner, we should talk.

Behind every PCB that leaves our Brisbane facility is a team of engineers, assemblers, and quality specialists who treat every job like it matters — because it does. Masters & Young has been delivering complex electronics for Defence, Aerospace, Mining, Medical, and Industrial clients since 1997. If your project demands reliability, contact us today.

Most hardware companies are juggling four suppliers: one for PCB design, one for assembly, another for enclosures, and a firmware developer somewhere in the mix. Each handover is a delay. Each interface is a risk. Each problem becomes a finger-pointing exercise. Masters & Young does all of it in-house at our Brisbane facility — PCB design and assembly, engineering R&D, enclosure design, and firmware development. With 3D AOI, Flying Probe testing, X-ray inspection and full traceability across two SMT lines. One partner. One point of accountability. Built in Australia since 1997.

Mach 8 re-entry. 328km altitude. Zero margin for failure. Masters & Young supported the HyShot 2 hypersonic flight experiment — conducted by the University of Queensland with NASA Langley Research Center — providing the electronic systems integration that captured and transmitted vital data during scramjet flight. Sensor arrays. Telemetry broadcasting 48 analog and 4 digital channels. Flight computers. All built to survive parabolic trajectories and 5.2Hz roll rates. If your aerospace or research project needs an electronics partner that's already been to the edge of what's possible, you've found us.

At Masters & Young, we're proud to play a role in supporting Australia's growing presence in the global space industry. Our collaboration with Gilmour Space Technologies — one of Australia's most ambitious aerospace companies and a leader in sovereign launch capability and satellite development — marks an exciting milestone. Masters & Young is providing advanced PCB manufacturing, assembly and testing services in support of their satellite initiatives. These aren't just circuit boards — they're critical components designed to perform in some of the most demanding environments imaginable. As Australia's space sector continues to accelerate, we're proud to contribute our expertise in electronics manufacturing to projects that quite literally reach beyond our atmosphere.
