Flashback to testing CR5

Where are they now?: Read about Jeff Clark, a member of the team from 2013-2017. Fun facts: Jeff was Chief Engineer and started calling the cars by the CR convention! Thank you for talking with us!

Two Citrus Racing seniors are headed to SpaceX this summer. Ryan Brennan (Electrical & Embedded Systems Lead) joins as an Avionics Electrical Test Engineer in California. Zach Freyman (Co-Chief Engineer) joins as a Supplier Development Engineer in Texas.

Their time on the team wasn’t just extracurricular; it’s what got them in the door. Ryan Brennan’s work on the dashboard and Zach Freyman’s work on the frame were directly integrated into their application process.

Syracuse University College of Engineering and Computer Science wrote about their journeys and what Citrus Racing meant for their careers. READ MORE HERE: https://ecs.syracuse.edu/about/news/citrus-racing-helps-students-prepare-for-engineering-roles-at-spacex
