Job application : Engineer Cigarette Modeling

Dear Madam / Dear Sir,

To utilize mathematics to develop less unhealthy cigarettes and thus contribute to solve one of the world's major public health problems represents a real opportunity for a mechanical engineer wanting to take up challenges in a dynamic work environment. Therefore I am sending you my application.

I recently obtained my engineering degree in mechanics, and I have always been very interested in the combination of mathematics with programming. Throughout my studies, I had the opportunity of participating in various projects, which increased my abilites to understand, assimilate new concepts and visualize solutions creatively.And I learned working independantly as well as collaboratively as part of a multidisciplinary team.

Furthermore, as QA engineer during an internship, I was in charge of several different assignements : developping quality system processes and procedures, establishing products realization plannings and providing expertise on quality techniques. I thus improved my analytical skills.

I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you in person to discuss how I may further the goals of your company. I am looking forward to hearing you soon.


Yours faithfully,
