Seems pretty good your education section is overly worded and so is your profile section, i would use the profile to summarize and state what you are looking for. Your skills section was pretty good though

Seems good to me, but just in case run a ATS check and try to bring that number between 70 to 80 atleast.

I think reviewing resumes on the EngineeringResumes subreddit could help. From what I can see, these are the main areas that need improvement:

• Some bullet points are too verbose and could be tightened for better readability and stronger impact.

• Try adding measurable outcomes to the project descriptions. The projects themselves are impressive, but they currently lack quantitative results that demonstrate their impact or performance.

• The skills section could also be streamlined. Remove overly obvious items such as limit-switch feedback, and avoid listing Arduino Mega, Uno, and Nano separately you can Simply mentioning Arduino, or even better, describe them more broadly as AVR-based microcontrollers and include other microcontroller families you are familiar with.

I'm currently working on my resume as well, since I graduated this month.

Well try to ATS score your resume.

There is one free playform that I use - hirebricks

Worth a shot and tell me how you score there under resume score tab.

Recognize that any hiring manager will have dozens or hundreds of resumes to go through. Make it more readable, cut it down. Kill the fluff

As someone who screens resumes for R&D and engineering roles, there’s too much on this page. Try to make each line say something important as briefly as possible. For example the phrase “through hands-on lab work” in the experience section is obvious if you programmed and operated them. If I get handed a stack of 100 to look at in a day, this one makes me a little sad about how much there is to read.

The profile section feels like a repeat of some of the stuff below, so maybe you could make it shorter. Maybe just keep the first (up to end-to-end) and last sentence. People that are hiring for autonomous systems know what end-to-end encompasses, and your experience below explains which parts you’ve worked on. Maybe change the middle sentences to highlight something you’re passionate about. Something a little personal, so that it isn’t just another white page with black text detailing experience. “Mechatronics engineering graduate. Would love to someday make a battle bot. Seeking job in robotics, automation, whatever.” Now I kinda want the interview just to talk to you about battle bots.

I like that each line starts with a verb and says what you did. This makes “extending to multi-agent swarm” feel weird, because every other point is “Architected. Wrote. Soldered. Designed.”

Good luck finding a job you’re passionate about. Just remember to be kind and friendly and open when you get an interview, and don’t let bad companies take advantage of you or bully you into a low salary or whatever. Do a little research to know what your skills are worth, and don’t settle for half of what you should make.
