DESCRIPTION
Jason MacDonald's Cover letter for his application to Bloom EnergyTRANSCRIPT
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!
