Satellite Engineer Cover Letter Example

Dear Hiring Manager,

As a Satellite Engineer with 2 years of design experience, I apply with enthusiasm for this position.

I am currently a Junior Satellite Engineer at Halliwell in Ohio, where I help develop and monitor cutting-edge satellite command systems for defense and aerospace-related missions. This involves developing and testing mission-specific software, test execution against simulators and flight hardware, interface development, ground subsystem integration, and requirements verification. I also support satellite commissioning time-line execution, command/control exercises, telemetry monitoring/analysis, and anomaly detection/resolution.

In addition to my experience, I hold a Master of Systems Engineering and a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering. I possess a deep understanding of ground systems, spacecraft electronics, RF communications systems engineering, and US DoD Protected Satellite Communications.

I am eager to take a step up in my career and pursue a more active role in spacecraft development. As well as your incredible 98% mission success rate, I’m attracted to this exciting opportunity because of your reputation for actively encouraging employees to think big and contribute design ideas that can revolutionize space missions.

Please find attached my résumé for your consideration. I confirm that I have active TS/SCI Clearance. Thank you very much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you regarding next steps.
