Dear Hiring Manager, I am applying for the Test Engineer position at [Company]. I have [number] years of experience as a test and validation engineer, most recently at [Current company], where my focus is test planning, test automation, data acquisition, failure analysis. Two results from that work: - Built a test rig that checks 200 units a shift; defects reaching customers fell from 2.1% to 0.4% - Automated 80 tests in Python; a full run takes 3 hours instead of 2 days [One or two sentences on why this company: a product you use, a goal from the posting, a problem you can help with.] I would bring the same focus on measurable results, and hands-on experience with Python, C++ and MATLAB, which the posting asks for. I would welcome the chance to talk about how I can help. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, [Your name]
