Controller BOM Cost Optimization

I have a complete controller-level Bill of Materials that includes microcontrollers, capacitors, position sensors, IPMs, N-channel MOSFETs and IGBTs. The immediate goal is to drive the overall cost down without sacrificing reliability or long-term availability.

Most of the boards now work with a mix of TI, Infineon, yageo, ATMEL, Microchip and STMicroelectronics devices, but I’m open to shifting to any pin-compatible or firmware-friendly alternative if it meaningfully trims the price. The same mindset applies to passive and power parts: if you can source a spec-matched capacitor, MOSFET or IGBT that lowers the piece price and is easy to get from the usual sources - China/Taiwan and their local distributors in India, i am open to it. Would prefer a Chinese/Taiwanese national who can speak working English and well versed with the local manufacturers and distributors for this role

Deliverables
• Reviewed BOM (spreadsheet or Altium/OrCAD export) with side-by-side alternate part numbers
• Price comparison table showing current vs. proposed unit and reel pricing at 1 k / 10 k quantities
• Availability snapshot (lead time, lifecycle status) for every suggested part
• Brief engineering note for any component that needs firmware or layout tweaks

Acceptance criteria
The alternate set must meet or exceed the original electrical specs, be orderable today, and demonstrate a clear cost reduction per assembly.

If this is in your wheelhouse, let’s talk.
