Summary
Spencer Maroukis is an electrical design engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience across utility operations, renewable grid interconnection, and embedded hardware development. He has designed high-voltage analog front-ends and test benches, led PCB and firmware development for products from USB cable testers to EV charge controllers and battery management systems, and validated components from GPS modules to insulation monitors. Spencer combines field-facing outage and system operations experience at major utilities with product-focused engineering at startups, making him fluent in both real-time grid constraints and manufacturable hardware design. He is proficient with CAN, I²C, UART, Python-based data analysis, and power system tools like CYME and AutoCAD, and has automated protection-setting workflows to reduce wildfire-related operational risk. Based in Tokyo, he brings a rare "3V3 to 21kV" full-stack electrical perspective that bridges low-voltage embedded systems and high-voltage grid engineering. Beyond technical work, he has practical build experience—from assembling LiFePO4 packs and a self-contained off-grid campervan to creating repeatable validation plans for hardware selection.
