To Whom It May Concern:

Please accept my resume for consideration for an entry level engineering position with BrooksAutomation. If no engineering positions are available, starting employment with on the shop floor would bean opportunity to be reared for a design engineering position. I would not mind working my way up.Hopefully my background will interest you.

My first employer was a fast paced custom millwork and cabinetry shop. They taught me to take pridein my craftsmanship, and pay close attention to detail. I began taking part time college courses in search of acareer path. I then changed jobs to gain experience in anything mechanically related. I therefore sought outand secured a small equipment repair technician position. After a small period of time I ranked as one of thebest technicians with respect to the number of tools out of service. A decision was then made to begin college

full time. Throughout my college career I successfully maintained an independent carpentry and paintingcompany.

College taught me many things. During my Senior Design Project I strengthened my teamwork andleadership skills. Our team designed, machined, assembled, and programmed an autonomous robot for theIEEE UAV robotics competition. I was the team leader for the physical design, fabrication, and assembly

stages. Through teamwork and my leadership we achieved a highly energy efficient design along with

flawless mechanics. This August I completed a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in mechatronicsengineering and a minor in industrial engineering (IE).

The IE courses taught me the concepts of Six Sigma, Lean, Toyota Production System, along withother quality and process improvement topics. My selection of a mechatronic engineering major fueled mypassion in automation and the machinery designed for it. Some of the courses taught for my major were

control systems, electro mechanical devices, industrial robotics, machine design, and engineering ofmanufacturing processes. I adhere to the life long learning aphorism by studying for the upcoming FE exam,the GD&T exam, and reading industrial literature. In the future I plan on earning a Masters in MechanicalEngineering degree.

I thrive in a results oriented atmosphere, working well independently or in a team environment,consistently meeting or beating deadlines. My close attention to detail is complemented by 20/ 12 vision andthe belief that no mistake should passed on to someone else. Couching other employees would draw on myexperience as a tutor. A tutor needed patience and understanding of students learning styles while guidingthem through difficult material.

If you wish to contact me to discuss my qualif ications further, I can be reached via email or at(512) 673 - 2058. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to talking with you and the

members of your staff.

Respectfully,

S cott D i ckerson
