Optical Mechanic Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve built a solid track record in fine tuning optical assemblies and I bring a practical eye for measurement and alignment. In my last role I calibrated instruments to tolerances within a few microns, and I know the value of clean surfaces and precise mounting. I’m interested in joining [Company Name] to apply hands on problem solving and steady execution in a focused, technical environment. My background covers selecting and assembling optical elements, centring and focusing components, and securing parts with adhesives or retaining rings. I work with alignment tools, air gauges, and fine scrapers, files and laps to get mounts and surfaces true. I’m comfortable handling lens surfacing and polishing tasks and I pay attention to how each component contributes to overall performance. There was a project where a misaligned module caused drift in a test fixture. I recheck aligned positions, rework the mounting with new rings, and adjust the focus until the readouts stabilised. The result was a reliable, repeatable setup that significantly improved test consistency and reduced rework on the line. I keep notes and calibrations clear so colleagues can follow the process. I’m available to discuss how I can contribute at [Company Name]. If you’d like to chat about the role and what I bring, I’m happy to arrange a time. Kind regards, [Your Name]
