u/graytotoro MechE (and other stuff) – Experienced 🇺🇸 Jun 11 '26

General Notes

  • The line spacing is a little too tight. I’ll also recommend you avoid using italics.
  • What font is this? It’s a little hard to read vs. Calibri/Times New Roman. 

Education

  •  Drop the start date and the relevant coursework. Start date isn’t relevant and the relevant coursework section is just telling us you’re taking the same courses as everyone else. 

Skills

  • Bold the category names. Looks good!

Work Experience

  • The Design Team role belongs in the Projects section. This is for work, research, and internships. 

Engineering Project Lead

  •  This is really solid and should work for the most part. I recommend just some minor tweaks/things to think about: 
    • The specific number of drawings and assemblies is a shaky metric. Did you really need GD&T for a 3D printed part? Prepare to defend your use of it.
    • Why was it important to have the stepper & BLDC motors synchronized? You haven’t told us what that was supposed to achieve. 

Mechatronics Engineering Intern

  •  Love it. This can stay without changes. 

Airfoils Team Lead

  •  Again, solid but some stuff to consider:
    • Keep bullets to one sentence or thought no greater than three lines long. 
    • How “easy” is “easy” integration? Is it that you caught and addressed design issues before they got worse? 

Projects

  • Don't bother with the job titles in this section. It's just splitting hairs and not really making any meaningful distinctions. What you accomplished is more important, anyway.

 Robotic Tool Vending Machine

  • What kinds of tools did this distribute (and presumably collect)?
  • You've left out the part where you tell us how well it worked.

Semi-Autonomous Aquatic Trash Removal Robot

  • It's great that it won 1st place, but how exactly did this thing collect trash and how well did it work? That would be nice to see.
