It is very, very, very thorough, and I don't know how many firms will take the time to watch it all. Also, I don't know how many of them will appreciate the music, but you might separate yourself from the pack with it. Let us know how it goes. Good luck!

As someone who is in an engineering office and has

been called upon to review potential candidates, I believe it is too much. Explaining what you did, why you did it, and the application for it goes a whole lot further. Save this for an interview and drop the music.
By the way, I am an engineer with twenty year's experience. I wish you the best of luck. Jobs are still tight in the engineering field.

Need to give enough to get them interested and save some for the interview.
Just my thoughts.

I agree with the above poster. It's great idea to be able to show off a project after you put in all the hard work and it goes well, but the music is distracting (and the video is a little long).
I would go with a voice-over briefly explaining what it is, how it works, why you chose to show each view, etc.
Also, (keep in mind I haven't worked with SolidWorks since 2009), it looks like you did a screen cap of you manually moving the part around (or either the video was sped up). Less camera movement, and more controlled movement with longer pauses would add a lot of value to the presentation.
If you want to emphasize either CAD work or the design, you can do so in the voice-over. If it's about the check gauge, talk about your tolerances and reasons for them. Anyone who sees the video will notice the CAD work, but will want to hear more about the design.
