Engineer Project Manager

Dear Sir/Madam,

This letter is to express my interest in Forensic Failure Analysis

Engineer, System Engineer, QA Manager or Project Manager Position.

I am positive that I can be a beneficial addition to your team and

their clients. I believe that my hands-on failure analysis and

aircraft mishaps experience makes me an excellent fit to your

organization.

For the past nine years I performed more than 120 failure

investigations of all aircraft systems and their components

(engines, rotor transmissions, landing gears, structure, etc.) and

been the leading investigator of 7 jet-fighter, helicopter and UAV

mishaps. Some of the investigations were performed together with

engineers from main US aircraft and engine companies (Boeing, Bell

Helicopters, Sikorsky, P&W) in Israel and at their facilities in the

US. In addition, I performed a number of joint investigations with

the Israeli Police Forensic department and I am familiar with some

forensic techniques.

Beside the investigations, I determined the training process for

Failure Analysis Engineers and directed courses to engineers from

Israel and foreign countries.

In addition, as QA manger of the FA department, I have a wide

experience in implementing the ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001,

ISO/IEC 17025 quality systems, performing internal and suppliers

audits and conducting the Lean Six Sigma approach in the

organization.

Throughout my education and work experience I have become a well-

organized, detail oriented team leader committed to providing the

best possible service for every client. I am prepared to rise to the

challenges presented by this position, while making a valuable

contribution to your operations.

As written in the attached CV, my wife is a US citizen, I have a

Permanent Immigrant Visa (Green Card) approved and will relocate in

US as permanent resident in June 2010

I am looking forward to hearing from you. Please find my contact

information at the top of the CV.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Emmanuel Hershko
