Dear Mr. Davis,

I am writing to express my interest for the mechanical engineering position at [Company X] in [City, State]. I was pleased finding the vacancy on [company.com] under section [Careers at], because I am confident that my technical knowledge and related industry experience can contribute to your team. Therefore, I want you to consider this application for the mechanical engineering position.

To shortly introduce myself, my name is [Name], and I recently graduated with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from the [University] of [City]. As an undergraduate researcher, I gained experience in the areas of mechanical design and analysis, more specifically, prototype design of industrial machine components. I noticed that [Company X] has been engaged in some exciting projects and initiatives over the past few years. As a motivated problem solver and diligent learner, I want to contribute to design changes to mitigate potential issues listed in [News Article] on the company’s website.

During my internship in the Design Department at [Company Y], I successfully designed multiple large-scale tooling assemblies to optimize machine manufacturing. This resulted in a cost-effective solution which saved hundreds of technician hours. Furthermore, I conducted analysis in areas beyond my expertise and reported potential issues such as the overheating of components and chemical leakage. I then remodeled and drafted over 50 components to mitigate these problems. For this effort, I received recognition (see references), but also developed the necessary interpersonal skills to succeed in a dynamic work environment.

I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my expertise could improve cost-effective and sustainable components for [Company X]. In the attachment, you can find my CV and references. If you have any questions, you can reach me at [Phone number] and [E-mail address]. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best regards,
