Jason MacDonald's Cover letter for his application to Bloom Energy

Transcript of Visual cover letter bloom

Hello Bloom Energy,

I’m Jason, and I am very interested in joining your team.

Why am I the candidate you need?

I am educated…

In 2011, I received an MSE in Mechanical Engineering, focused

on Controls and Energy Systems

And another MS in Natural Resources

and the Environment, studying Sustainable

Energy Systems

I am educated…

In 2005, I received a BS in Mechanical

Engineering, focused on Fluids and

Thermodynamics

In my studies, I learned…

The fundamentals of fuel cells and the

thermodynamics of energy generating

technologies

In my studies, I learned…

And advanced engineering topics like control systems analysis and design optimization

techniques

I have research experience…

Leading a group of students on a grant-

funded research project

Where we modeled plug-in hybrid

electricity consumption, electricity dispatch, and

GHG emissions

ugh, grad school hair!

I have energy experience…

As a system design engineer in residential and

commercial photovoltaics

And as an R&D intern: simulating, prototyping, and

experimenting on photovoltaic concentrators

I have other experience…

As an applications engineer bringing together experts to solve technical issues on the transmissions for both the Chevy Volt and it’s fuel cell variant

Which gave me some familiarity with the

workings and challenges of fuel cell technologies

In addition…

I’m a self-starter…

Like the time I founded and led the UCLA Supermileage

vehicle team

Or when I started a group at U of M to share experiences in renewable energy

among students

I am an effective communicator…

Like in presenting research results, both

written and orally

I can manage projects…

Like timeline and deliverables for the research on plug-in hybrids at U of M

Or like serving as project leader for the UCLA Supermileage

Vehicle Team

And…

I am passionate, creative, hands-on, and fascinated with clean energy and fuel cells

I actively search for ways to improve my employers operations

I am proficient with many engineering software packages including Matlab, Simulink, SolidWorks, and AutoCAD

And I want to help build a sustainable energy future with Bloom Energy

Thank you

I look forward to hearing from you!
