Dear Sir/Madame,

I have broad work experience as a certified mechanical engineer and as a

program manager. Working internationally in Romania and Canada, as well as

the United States, has given me cross-cultural experience with management,

along with a diverse engineering background and strong research skills.

Managing production quality control teams and directing industrial

automation design projects have strengthened my analytical, quantitative

skills, and have furthered my expertise within the field.

My dedication to industrial research and progress, and my great potential

in the field is exemplified by my valuable contribution: the development of

a new patent in the U.S. - "Gear Clutch", which was awarded with the gold

medal prize at the WCS Exhibition in Baltimore in April 2003.

Futhermore, my training in computer software includes: ProEngineer, FEA-

ProMechanica, Solid Works, FEA-COSMOS/M, MSC/Nastran, CATIAV5, MoldFlow,

AutoCAD, Comsol and MathCAD, and SAP.

I believe that your company would benefit from my rich experience.

Yours sincerely,

Martin M. Balta
