Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSpencer Perkins is a firmware and systems engineer with eight years of hands-on experience building power conversion and embedded systems, now co-founding Paperclip Labs in the San Francisco Bay Area. He developed control firmware and high-speed ECU data streaming tools at Tesla that supported utility-scale battery projects totaling gigawatt-hours of deployed capacity and enabled daily debugging workflows for dozens of engineers. Comfortable across embedded C on RTOS, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and full-stack automation, he has a track record of shipping production-grade solutions from robotics platforms at NVIDIA to manufacturing automation at Tesla. Spencer pairs an Engineering Physics degree from UBC with practical leadership—having led EV hardware teams, taught programming, and previously grown and sold a landscaping business—which speaks to both technical depth and operational grit. He’s particularly skilled at turning complex electro-mechanical requirements into testable, automatable systems that scale in the field.
