About Spencer Vaughn
Engineering leader with a background in Automation, Process Engineering, and Aseptic manufacturing, currently serving as a Principal Engineer supporting syringe filling operations in a GMP environment.I bring a systems-level perspective from early work in Automation and Building Controls (BAS) for pharmaceutical facilities and large data centers, which informs how I lead technical problem-solving today.In my current role, I operate in a people-leadership capacity—mentoring engineers, leading investigations, and working directly with cross-functional teams, leadership, and auditors to align technical execution with business needs.I’m pursuing engineering management roles where strong technical judgment, team development, and clear communication matter.
