Penn Electric Racing

Penn Electric Racing

I led the Electrical Team at Penn that designed a Formula SAE racecar every year from 2015-2019. The vehicles we built broke the North American acceleration record (0-75m in 3.89s or 0-60mph in 2.6s), won 1st place at both Formula North and Formula Lincoln, and became the first competitive 4-wheel-drive vehicle in America.

My work focused on the vehicle's electronic control units, which included more than 15 custom boards every year, amounting to over 45 schematics in aggregate. A typical board featured ~200 parts routed across 4 layers.

I also worked on:

  • Recruitment
  • Rookie education
  • Sales pitches
  • Unveiling
  • Fun time lapses
  • All media photo, film, & design
  • Sponsorship packages worth over $35k
  • Garbage disposal

The racecars were built with some of the brightest friends I've ever made. Find out more here: Official Penn Electric Racing Website
