How would someone begin the process of finding electronic manufacturers?

  For us, it started on OpenWRT blogs, scouring Alibaba and seeing who got back to us. Later it was email lists and the network of our accelerator. If I was going to custom design, i'd be going to maker meetups in your city, or applying to something like Hxlr8. There are also supplier/customer places that do matchmaking with additional services for a fee (HWTrek for example). I didn't use any. Also, if you can find a Kickstarter of someone who did something at all related, ask who they used. Lots of creators are very happy to tell you!

    Are there any facilitators (i.e. freelancers or consultants that have a proven track record of having brought projects to production) that are affordable? I assume most of these professionals end up at a larger company faster than you can look.
