Dear Hiring Manager,

I am expressing my interest in the above mentioned position as advertised online at Jobstreet.

I will be graduating from National University of Singapore (NUS) with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and a specialization in Product Design come May 2012, thus I believe I possess the necessary product development knowledge, innovative design skills and enthusiasm to be a Mechanical Design Engineer in your company.

In the course of my study at NUS, I have gained relevant knowledge and skills in mechanical designs and processes, product management, and 3D modeling with SolidWorks. My previous coursework projects include conceptualizing and designing an electric bike for urban use, and designing and prototyping a grocery trolley which doubles up as a walker for the elderly. For my degree dissertation, I am currently working on the design of a rotator cuff spacer for an orthopedic surgeon at National University Hospital. To ensure its feasibility, I modeled the spacer using Mimics (a medical modeling software) to produce prototypes for testing and ran simulated tests to analyze the stresses and mechanics involved.

Furthermore, I have successfully led and managed committees in organizing youth camps, and have achieved several awards representing NUS in sports. These accomplishments demonstrate the importance of team spirit, cooperation and enthusiasm for success, and I believe that I can bring these qualities to your company.

In review of Novo Design’s objectives to generate unique and iconic design whilst leveraging on engineering and technology, I feel that my strengths and skills will be an asset to the company. I am eager to speak with you to discuss the possible contributions that I can bring to your company. I can be reached in confidence at any of the above contact information. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,
Ms Noelle Teh
