The ASG Process

Design Engineer Manufacture: From Concept to Creation

ASG Power’s Design Engineer Manufacture approach unifies electrical engineering and manufacturing under one accountable team. Engage ASG Power early in your process to help reduce scope gaps, improve schedule certainty and limit rework that can occur when design and build are split.

ASG Power supports the full path from concept through production, including requirements definition, design development, prototyping and production build. We also support documentation, test planning and release milestones to keep delivery field-ready.

ASG Power is manufacturer agnostic, with a strong supply chain and a UL-certified team that can source components based on functional requirements, compliance needs and lead time targets. ASG has no minimum order quantity (MOQ), supporting one-off prototypes, pilot runs and production programs.

Quick Answer: What is Design Engineer Manufacture?

Design Engineer Manufacture is a delivery model where engineering and manufacturing work as one team from requirements through build and test. The goal is faster decisions, fewer handoffs and smoother transition to production and deployment.

A Partner You Can Trust

Projects lose time in handoffs, assumptions and late-stage changes when design and manufacturing responsibility are split. ASG Power’s Design Engineer Manufacture approach aligns engineering decisions with how the system will be built, tested and supported.

ASG Power also uses an upfront contract model to set expectations early. Early engagement helps define requirements, interfaces and compliance targets before material is released or schedules harden. 

Design Engineer Manufacture with ASG Power is a good fit for you if:

  • You need one partner to design, engineer and manufacture custom electrical equipment with clear ownership from concept through delivery.
  • You want electrical engineering support that includes R&D, prototyping and iterative refinement before release to production.
  • You need component flexibility backed by supply chain expertise and UL-certified manufacturing for quality and compliance you can trust.
  • You have power needs up to 1,000 volts AC and 1,500 volts DC.
  • You are managing compressed timelines or changing requirements and need an agile team.
  • You want to start small with no MOQ and scale when ready.

ASG’s upfront contract model typically includes:

  • Discovery and requirements review to confirm use case, interfaces and constraints
  • Engineering scope definition with a documented plan for design reviews and release milestones
  • Concept development and design outputs appropriate to the project stage (drawings, schematics, layouts, BOM strategy)
  • Manufacturability and supply chain inputs to reduce lead time exposure and redesign risk
  • Prototype and validation planning as needed, including test approach and documentation expectations
  • Communication cadence and change management to keep decisions traceable and schedules stable

This process is backed by experience built over decades. ASG Power began in 2000 as the contract manufacturing division of HESCO (Hartford Electric Supply Company), supporting OEMs and end users with custom automation controls, variable frequency drive cabinets and hazardous rated power and data cable assemblies. In 2017, ASG Power expanded into Design Engineer Manufacture engineering services and deeper custom power distribution work, supporting a diversified customer base with significant growth in alternative energy applications. ASG/HESCO is a third-generation family-owned business.
