Summary
Perrin Silveira is a versatile engineer and FIRST Robotics mentor with nine years of hands-on experience across software and firmware development, mathematical modeling, 3D printing, and robotics. Grounded in a BS in Mathematics from Cal Poly, he translates abstract models into physical systems—designing and manufacturing prototypes and mentoring students in SolidWorks and engineering practices since 2015. He has applied additive manufacturing skills professionally at Empirical Systems Aerospace and continues research work at Cal Poly, combining academic curiosity with practical R&D capability. Perrin’s strength is a broad, interdisciplinary toolkit that makes him effective at cross-domain problem solving, from control code to part fabrication. Outside formal roles he continually experiments with projects, tooling, and tech education, bringing fresh ideas from hobbies like tabletop RPGs and audio production into collaborative teams. He’s particularly suited to research-driven engineering roles where rapid prototyping and mathematical rigor accelerate development.
