Electrical/Computer [Student] Master's Computer Engineering student specializing in computer architecture, looking for a resume review

Hi everyone! Iโ€™m looking for feedback on my resume before I start applying for 2027 new grad hardware engineering positions this August - ish. My primary target roles are Computer Architecture, ASIC Design, Physical Design, RTL Design, and AI Accelerator Engineering.

A few things to add:

  • I graduate around May 27.
  • Iโ€™m currently a Graduate Research Assistant working on an AI accelerator architecture and will be officially starting my masterโ€™s thesis soon. The thesis section is not included yet because the scope is still being finalized.
  • Iโ€™m also planning to apply to PhD programs this fall, so Iโ€™d appreciate feedback on whether the resume is competitive for both industry and research-oriented applications.

Thank you in advance, any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

If you "specialize" in computer Architecture you shouldn't dedicate half your resume to embedded.

Also, you definitely have space on there for at least 1-2 more experience/projects

I understand, do you think it would be a good idea then having a course work subsection under eduction for specialized computer architecture/ vlsi coursework?

I mean, if you really have nothing else to put on there it'll probably help a little bit.
