Dear Hiring Manager:

I am writing to express my interest in the Design Engineer position. I was

recently employed as a project engineer for a leading foundry equipment and

surface treatment manufacturer.

In my past experience in working with a world leader in the foundry

equipment industry as a project engineer I have been responsible for the

design of numerous innovative design solutions. Designing new machines and

adapting standard machines to meet customer's special requirements. I have

worked with customers to install new equipment in existing plants and

designed various machinery including; structural steel platforms,

accumulating conveyors for automotive sheet metal panels, conveyor belts,

sand storage bins, mold handling equipment for foundries, surface treatment

equipment, and heaters for making fracture sand for the oil industry. I

have had experience in plant additions and worked with field personnel with

installation and construction. I am familiar with OHSA requirements, AISC

practices, standard machining practices, steel selection and heat

treatment. I have a great deal of experience in working under pressure in a

fast-paced atmosphere. I was a leader in making the transition from 2D to

3D CAD and I was responsible for the development of new drawing templates

and standard part files. I am a reliable self-motivated worker who is able

to succeed both as part of a team and individually. I also have great

attention to detail and organization, and am very comfortable multi-

tasking.

I hope that after you have reviewed the attached resume we can discuss how

I could contribute to your organization. I thank you for your time and

consideration, and I very much look forward to hearing from you soon.

Regards,

Mark Cook

PROJECT ENGINEER ? CAD DESIGNER

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Roberts Sinto Corporation - Project Engineer

. Redesigned and updated 2500 Lb. batch sand heaters increasing their

capacity and reducing the process time making them marketable to the

oil industry.

. Accepted the engineering responsibility for the company's first

venture into the tumble blast machine market. Later modeled the

entire machine in 3D CAD using Solid Edge, adapted a new shot

separator system and designed a new hydraulically operated part

loader making the machine less expensive to build and safer to

operate.

. Headed the introduction of 3D CAD by training coworkers and developing

draft templates for Solid Edge 2D.

. Directed the 3D modeling of mold machines and core setters consisting

of thousands of parts. Made the manufacturing drawings, bills of

materials, and component specifications for transition of production

from Japan to production in the U.S. The assembly models were

invaluable in the creation of exploded view assembly drawings for

spare parts/maintenance manuals, trained others in the utilization of

3D software, and reduced the incidence of incorrect spare parts being

sent to customers.

. Responsible for coordinating the engineering efforts of 4 to 5

coworkers to produce layout drawings, details, and component

specifications of a $1.3M frame handling, punching, and stacking

system for Ford. Subsequently oversaw the fabrication and coordinated

the successful installation of the conveyors and stackers in the

manufacturing plant. The installation was completed on schedule

without interfering with plant production. The project greatly

increased the accuracy of suspension mounting holes in the completed

car frames.

. Designed belt conveyors, surge bins, and sand feeders for installation

of mold machines in existing foundries and for renovation of larger

foundries.

. Designed 1200 square foot structural steel platforms, suspended from

overhead, around rotating iron pouring machines and electric holding

furnaces for installation in existing foundries at Ford and General

Motors. Detailed the structural steel pieces and oversaw the

installation

. Created maintenance manuals for new equipment and supported spare

parts department by monitoring the quality and accuracy of ordered

parts.

. Designed mold handling equipment to automatically transport sand molds

from mold machines to pouring lines in foundries.
