Member Highlight
David Tarlau
SAE Member David Tarlau is a regular fixture at the SAE SoCal Board of Director Meetings. He assists SAE SoCal as a volunteer handling technical inspections with the SAE Aero Design West Competition. He is active with SAE because he appreciates the opportunity to meet individuals he would not necessarily get a chance to interact with in his normal work. David participated in SAE competitions while in school at Kettering University where he started the SAE Aero Design Team. Now David is a Battery Design Engineer at Evelozcity in Torrance, CA.
