Hi
Its a little bit a technical motivation letter, but I would be thankful for any useful feedback that I could get!
It will be sent with a resume. Many thanks!
Dear Sir or Madame,
Following an informative e-mail
correspondence with Ms. Jennie Mustermann, I am writing to apply
for an
internship in your CPU Design Group (Ref: ***). Since I have
been working in the field of computer science, *** has always been known to me for
its wide range of excellent RISC microprocessors. Not surprisingly, we have in our
research group at the University of *** two *** development boards which we plan
to use for future projects. I am excited about the possibility of being an intern
with such a company.
During my first year as a PhD student at the university of ***, I have acquired
skills and experiences highly relevant to the intership position in your CPU group. I
designed a first prototype of a 32-bit RISC microprocessor using the LISA machine
description language. The architecture is tailored towards efficient execution of
cryptographic workloads. The design has been sythesised with the Xilinx Sythesis
Technology for a Virtex-II FPGA and I used Xilinx's Chipscope for in-circuit
verification.
In addition, your work requires experience with a hardware description language. For
my master thesis project, I implemented a coprocessor in VHDL that performs high
speed elliptic curve cryptography. The results of this work were presented at the
Workshop on ***.
To further acquaint you with the specifies of my background I am enclosing
my curriculum vitae. If you have any questions or require any additional information,
please feel free to contact me at 000-00000 or by e-mail ***@gmx.at
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
