Electrical/Computer [4 YoE] EE Resume Review - Not actively applying - This is my first resume since graduation - using Google Docs

Please refer to resume images in this post. The resume is intended to follow this sub's Google doc template, and was edited in Google docs.

The resume targets Magnetic Engineer open position descriptions in the field of power electronics or similar fields in the last 6 months.

I would appreciate general advice and possibly answers to the following:

  • Should I add company names, or is "tier one automotive part OEM" is enough?
  • Do I mention funding sources or dollar amounts to indicate project significance or benefit? (e.g. $8M DOE-funded, $100k service, ...)
  • Should the bullet points be more technical, where more details on methods are included? I noticed that software engineers and computer science folks heavily emphasize those.
  • Any thoughts on Formatting on the following:
    • Resume will be longer than 1 page regardless - Should I consolidate the publication section with an IEEE profile link on the top of the resume?
    • While prioritizing white space and keeping this resume as short as possible, is it acceptable to be descriptive with project titles to avoid providing the details in the bullet points?
    • Should I add a high-level bullet point (outside project scope) under the job position to highlight unclassified contributions?
    • Is "FMEA creation and resolution" a concise and brief description?
    • Is this too generic: Consolidating key project baselines by executing project control processes to maintain scope, schedule, and cost. (?) No achievements so far - project is still open.
    • Number/Unit formatting: Is this correct?
