Dear HR Manager,
I am contacting you to explore employment opportunities for the R&D Technician position. My experience
came from the Hi-Tech Industries where Quality, Safety and Innovation are priorities.
Working in R&D laboratories in different industries I obtained experience testing products to determine
maximum dependability in areas of human life and safety. Conducting numerous of Tensile and other
mechanical/chemical Tests. Verifying innovative engineering ideas in order to creating new products.
I am experienced in creating or revising new Protocols and Test methods, preparing Test Reports with SPC
Data and charts.
My work history allows me to work with different Lab Test equipment, performing Test set-up, Assisting
Engineering in building fixtures and prototypes for testing and many other skills.
I managed System Tests and inspection for the MARTA numerous Hi-Tech Projects with a high level of
Standards in Quality and Safety. Successfully consulted and audited numerous of Tests, QA Programs,
Engineering Projects, Manuals and Reports. I was responsible for updates on Tests and Quality supporting
documentation.
The High-Tech job helps me to develop exceptional organizational skills working with Critical Data, achieve
results with a sense of urgency, multi-task skills, and of course analyze Data and Report research results.
Sincerely,
Ted Virakhov
