Hello Makani Power,

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 wind energy and other 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 renewable 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 Chevy Volt’s

transmission

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 wind energy

I actively search for ways to improve my employers operations

And I want to help build a sustainable energy future with Makani Power

Thank you

I look forward to hearing from you!
