Electronic Product Design:

NWCE provides a complete Electronic Product Design service. From initial concept through finished production prototype, NWCE can design your product to your specifications "from the ground up" or any stage in between...

NWCE is a Design Services only company, meaning that once a product has been designed, it is your product. NWCE retains no further rights, copyrights, or other ownership of your product. In addition, NWCE will support your product throughout its life-cycle, including fixes, updates, or follow-on designs and revisions at very reasonable rates on an hourly or contract basis.

NWCE prides itself on robust, simplified, easy-to-manufacture, lowest cost-to-produce designs. Form-factors, component selections, and physical layouts are all selected to provide a product design that meets your needs, whether it be a prototype, low-volume or high-volume production item.

Product designs include all electrical, mechanical, assembly and test documents and two fully functional production prototypes for testing and evaluation.

Product designs may be accomplished on a fixed-fee, cost plus, or hourly basis, depending on the customer's wishes.
