re: quality assurance metallurgist/raw material engineer position

i am extremely interested in being considered for the above-referenced position, and am submitting my resume for review. in advance, thank you for your time and consideration.

 

as demonstrated i offer approximately 20 years of related experience including extensive background in manufacturing environments, with positions ranging from quality control engineer and research associate to my current position as r&d manager/scientist with gossen corporation (1998-present) where i spearhead broad functions within a lean manufacturing environment focused on development/manufacturing of innovative exterior and interior building materials customized to client needs/requirements.  in this capacity, i am actively involved in quality control and raw materials management/engineering as well as training, coordinating and directing over 25 engineering student/graduate interns.  prior to joining gossen corporation, i was a research associate with advanced manufacturing center in cleveland, focusing on the research and development of non-destructive testing (ndt) techniques targeted toward identifying and resolving manufacturing process quality issues for major clientele including general electric inc., metal improvement co. and eaton corp.

 

to complement this background, i offer a ph.d. in industrial engineering, with dissertation focused on non-destructive methodologies, as well as both an m.sc. and b.sc. in materials science and engineering. additionally, i have consistently demonstrated my extensive expertise as a university adjunct professor and instructor.  i am also widely-published in the industry and am an active member of multiple industry-related organizations including iie, asq, spe, and sme; this includes serving as board member of the industrial advisory board for the university of wisconsin s materials department.

 

as a staff member, you will find me to be a driven team player prepared to deliver immediate and long-term results and committed to supporting you in achieving your objectives through superior performance.  i am confident that i could be a valuable asset in this position, and look forward to interviewing with you in the near future.
