Hello Bloom Energy,

I’m Jason, and I am very interested in joining your team.

Why am I the candidate you need?

Page 3: Visual cover letter   bloom

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

Page 4: Visual cover letter   bloom

I am educated…

In 2005, I received a BS in Mechanical

Engineering, focused on Fluids and

Thermodynamics

Page 5: Visual cover letter   bloom

In my studies, I learned…

The fundamentals of fuel cells and the

thermodynamics of energy generating

technologies

Page 6: Visual cover letter   bloom

In my studies, I learned…

And advanced engineering topics like control systems analysis and design optimization

techniques

Page 7: Visual cover letter   bloom

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!

Page 8: Visual cover letter   bloom

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

Page 9: Visual cover letter   bloom

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

Page 10: Visual cover letter   bloom

In addition…

Page 11: Visual cover letter   bloom

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

Page 12: Visual cover letter   bloom

I am an effective communicator…

Like in presenting research results, both

written and orally

Page 13: Visual cover letter   bloom

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

Page 14: Visual cover letter   bloom

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!
