How to use this cover letter
Dear Hiring Manager,

I'm excited to apply for the Mechanical Engineer position. Mechanical engineer delivering production-ready designs that cut cost and improve reliability through rigorous analysis and supplier partnership.

At Mobility Design Labs, redesigned the e-axle cooling system using CFD and FEA analysis. This effort significantly lowered field failure rates and eliminated the need for multiple prototype iterations.

I have a track record of achieving $18 per unit unit cost savings, achieving 27% cycle time reduction, and achieving 4 prototype iterations avoided.

My key strengths include Connects CAD expertise with manufacturability and supplier collaboration, Quantifies cost, cycle time, and reliability improvements across programs, and Demonstrates structured quality tools like DFMEA and PPAP.

I'm known for strengths in dfm, fea, and solidworks while partnering with cross-functional teams.

I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my experience can support your goals. Thank you for your time and consideration.
