Resume:

Dear Chronos Consulting

I am pleased to present my resume to you for a position as a Composite Design Engineer. As a seasoned

professional with 9+ years of engineering experience, I am confident in my ability to help translate

creative ideas into ground-breaking products and processes.

In addition to my hands-on engineering experience, I possess a Master’s of Science Degree in

Mechanical Engineering and have taken four continuing education courses specializing in composite

design and analysis. Over the years I have become proficient in a number of key areas including

proposals, product design, 3D modeling, finite element analysis (FEA), micro & macro mechanics,

creating detailed drawings, manufacturing in both composites and metal fabrication, project management

and managing a small team of engineers.

During my time as a Mechanical Design Engineer/Project Engineer (2003-2010) and a Materials

Engineer (2010-Present) I have realized a number of relevant accomplishments:

• Played a major role in designing and analyzing a state of the art High Energy Mobile X-Ray

Scanner.

• Was a major contributor to designing a new and improved Mobile Command Center product line.

• Completed an extensive R&D project to find an alternative weather resistant outer film for

Radome construction.

• Analyzed and tested several alternative glass reinforced polymer materials for use in sandwich

Radome construction.

Being a performance-driven and motivated professional, I welcome the opportunity to meet with you to

discuss how my extensive experience and skills would benefit your company. Thank you for your time

and consideration and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Bryan Garrity
