Hiring Manager

Dana Corporation

Napoleon, OH 43545

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to express my interest in the Industrial Engineer position at Dana Corporation’s Napoleon facility. With over two decades of experience in reliability engineering, facility layout optimization, and continuous improvement, I bring a unique blend of technical rigor and strategic insight that aligns directly with Dana’s mission to improve efficiency and performance across driveline and thermal-management technologies.

Throughout my career, I’ve led multimillion-dollar infrastructure projects, integrated CMMS platforms like SAP and Maximo, and applied industrial engineering tools such as Avix, AutoCAD 3D, and capacity modeling to streamline operations. At Kraft-Heinz and Koesi Corporation, I drove layout redesigns and labor efficiency improvements that enhanced throughput and reduced waste—initiatives that mirror Dana’s commitment to safety, quality, delivery, and cost.

I am particularly drawn to Dana’s collaborative culture and its emphasis on innovation and continuous improvement. My experience working cross-functionally with engineering, quality, materials, and operations teams has prepared me to contribute meaningfully to your Core Teams and support the execution of Dana Operating System (DOS) objectives.

I would welcome the opportunity to bring my expertise to Dana Corporation and help drive measurable results in your Napoleon plant. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of discussing how I can contribute to your team.

Sincerely,

Randy G. Carpenter
