Interests
Dear Sirs,
I am interested in interviewing for the Director of Mechanical
Engineering position you have listed on Linked in. My qualifications fit
well with the requirements stated in the job description. This is my 20th
year in the medical device industry (products for magnetic resonance
imaging and rehabilitation). My work, to date, is comprised of product
design for short run, low volume (<2000 units /year) medical products
Although many techniques we use are drawn from higher volume production
practices. I am familiar with the regulatory requirements, product
standards, documentation, testing, etc. involved in bringing medical
devices to market. While I understand your company does not produce
medical products, the regulatory experience and many of the processes are
applicable. I have experience operating under ISO 13485 (similar to 9001)
and produce products that comply with UL, FDA and CE requirements.
My greatest asset is my drive to succeed and my internal motivation
to secure the information or knowledge required to do the work correctly
and quickly. I am a leader among my peers wherever I work and work well in
a team environment. My experience allows me to see through seemingly
complex design problems and find the simple, efficient solution. I am
focused on completing projects on time and have a strong work ethic that
allows me to do what it takes to stay on schedule. My latest 30+ part
injection molded product was delivered on time (an 8 month product
development schedule ending on 12/18/09) and this project allowed our
company to realize over 5 million dollars in revenue for '09. My work
experience ranges from small companies with 70 people and 12M in sales to
large companies like Philips and Smith & Nephew. I have recent experience
working with overseas suppliers. I am very entrepreneurial and also work
well within a large organization.
I would like to continue sharing my qualifications and experience
with you in an interview. Please consider my resume and contact me if my
qualifications are a close fit with your needs. I look forward to learning
more about this company and it's product development challenges. Thank you
for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Matt Mercier
