Summary

Greetings,

I am writing to express my strong interest in the QA Engineer position at CNH Reman. With a solid background in engine assembly and machining, strong attention to detail and inspection abilities, and a passion for ensuring the delivery of high-quality engines and components, I am confident in my ability to contribute to your team's success.

From a young age, I have been fascinated by automotive/diesel mechanics and how things are built and how they operate. Growing up, I was always with my father doing all kinds of mechanical jobs with vehicles and farm equipment, especially buying cheap cars and flipping them, which was a hobby of my father's. This passion led me to pursue a career in engine manufacturing, and now pursuing a degree in Manufacturing Technology and Engineering, where I can gain more technical knowledge about the engine remanufacturing world as well as the engineering side of the industry. Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in manual and automated machining, testing, identifying and documenting defects, inspection processes, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure the timely delivery of the best components on the market. In the spring of 2026, I plan to sign up for the ASQ certification for Quality Engineering. I am very confident in my ability to accomplish this goal.

What excites me most about the QA Engineer role at CNH Reman is the opportunity to work with a highly skilled and motivated team that values innovation and continuous improvement. I am confident that my experience in technical and shop floor work, combined with my strong analytical and problem-solving skills, make me an ideal fit for this role. I am
