Engineering Resume Bullet: Before and After

Before

Designed parts for manufacturing.

After

Redesigned a pump housing in SolidWorks using DFM principles, cutting part cost 18% and assembly time 25% across 40,000 units per year.

Tool, method, and two cost metrics at production scale show engineering impact in a way a duty never can.

Professional Engineer Resume Tips

For licensed or senior engineers:

  • Put PE license (state and number on request) right after your name
  • Lead with project value, scope, and outcomes
  • Show leadership: engineers mentored, teams led, clients managed
  • Include standards and codes you've designed to

Two pages are fine once you have 10+ years of projects.

Engineering Projects for Students

Student and new-grad engineers should include a Projects section: capstone, competition teams (Formula SAE, robotics, Engineers Without Borders), research, and personal builds. Describe the goal, your role, the tools, and the result:

"Designed the suspension uprights for a Formula SAE car in SolidWorks, cutting weight 12% while passing FEA load tests."
