At BVM, we have been designing COM/SOM Carrier Boards, Custom Electronics and PCB’s for many years and have experienced the changes in technology…….
COM/SOM Carrier Boards, Custom Electronics and PCB Design and Manufacturing Service
At BVM, we’ve been designing COM/SOM carrier boards, custom electronics and PCBs for decades. From early 16-bit CPU modules to today’s high-speed PCIe devices and custom power solutions, we’ve built a strong foundation of standard design blocks to deliver tailored electronic solutions. Whether your design is based on x86 or ARM COM/SOM module – or developer platforms like Raspberry Pi, Jetson or Arduino – we ensure your carrier PCB design supports your long-term product goals.
With our in-depth electronics engineering design experience, we’ll ensure your carrier PCB design is a successful one.
Our PCB Design & Manufacturing Services Include:
- Component selection and procurement
- PCB assembly
- Wiring and cable harness assembly
- Potting, encapsulation and heat shrinking
- Product configuration and functional testing
- Design and development of custom test rigs
- Development of supporting test software
How can BVM help you with Carrier Board and PCB design?
- Experience That Counts: With over 30 years of experience, we bring deep expertise in PCB and carrier board design, assembly, and production.
- First-Time Accuracy: Precision is essential in PCB design. We get it right the first time—whether it’s a prototype or a production-ready unit.
- UK-Based Engineering: Our in-house CAD team in Southampton, Hampshire, ensures high-quality design and reliable support throughout your project.
Custom Carrier Board, Electronics & PCB Design
We use Altium Designer to carry out layout, routing, and component placement – ensuring electrical integrity throughout. Our schematic diagrams are carefully developed to support complex routing needs, like matched impedance and equal signal path lengths, essential for high-speed interfaces such as PCIe Gen 4 and 5.
We take great care in routing to ensure optimal performance and signal integrity for advanced systems, including differential pair balancing and timing-critical designs.
Prototyping Services
Once the design is validated, we move to prototyping. This phase verifies performance against your specification and ensures design integrity. Although simpler than the final production version, the prototype is high quality, accurate, and fully functional.
By identifying any potential issues early, we save you time and cost before full-scale production. After rigorous in-house testing, prototypes are delivered for your own validation, with opportunities for final adjustments if needed.
Carrier Board, Electronics & PCB Manufacturing
Following prototype approval, we offer full production services, tailored to your scale and timeline. Our manufacturing capabilities include:
- Small to medium to large-scale volume manufacture of your carrier PCB assembly – inclusive of component selection
- Product serialisation for traceability
- Product labelling
- Product packaging
- End of life & last time buy management services
- On line RMA services
- Corrective action reporting
- Inventory control; monthly scheduled orders, frame orders and Kanban/JIT

Custom Carrier Board and PCB Design Projects
Case Study: IoT Gateway Device
BVM Ltd were approached by a global OEM, responsible for producing monitoring & control devices to produce analytics via telemetry. The client tasked BVM with designing and manufacturing a small IoT (Gateway) device for the purpose of monitoring systems for remote installations.
Case Study: PCIe Mini-card Carrier Module
BVM were approached by an existing client to evaluate the possibility of using twelve PCIe mini-cards in a system together with a mid-range graphics card, itself requiring eight PCIe lanes.
Case Study: A Customised Carrier Board for a Global Laser Technology Leader
Learn how BVM designed a custom carrier board with 5+ years long-term availability for a global leader in laser technology.
BVM Products are Designed for Manufacture
Design for Manufacture (Design for Manufacturability or DFM) is the engineering process of designing products to ensure they’re efficient to manufacture.
Our design team plan a level of detail during both the initial concept and prototype phases – well before any level of product volume is reached. During the initial design processes, the design will be refined and honed along the way to make it suitable for repeatable production.
Our designs will always consider:
- Set up and tooling costs
- Volume production costs
- Maintenance costs
- Environmental effects
BVM’s Design for Manufacture processes will always allow every commercial (and technical) consideration to be identified within design phase, the most cost-effective place to catch & address everything.
Our industrial and embedded product design-to-order projects have included:
- Advanced PCI Express peripherals and expansion bridges.
- High specification PCI Express splitter devices to allow multiple devices to be driven from standard embedded motherboards
- Baseboards for Computer-on-Module processor boards, such as COM Express and Qseven implementing customers I/O & display requirements onto the baseboard and allowing processing to be handled by a standard module.
