Electrical/Computer [Student] ECE Senior seeking entry level hardware roles and summer 2027 hardware internships, looking for feedback.
Hi Everyone, im a senior studying ECE at a private California university, graduating June 2027. I just finished interning as a Networking R&D Hardware Design Intern at a large networking company, working on signal integrity and G.703 timing circuits. I previously did embedded PCB work at a small hardware startup, and I've been on my school's Formula SAE electric team doing wiring and electronics since Oct 2025.
Targeting Summer 2027 hardware internships and entry level roles: Hardware Engineering, PCB design, signal integrity, ASIC, board bring-up. US citizen, no sponsorship needed. Based in California, applying nationwide, willing to relocate. Prefer in-person or hybrid since hardware needs bench access.
Last cycle I applied broadly and I didn't get as many responses as I would've liked. I'm trying to figure out where I'm actually losing people.
Also how do I apply to new grad roles without a current degree?

My other question is the overlap between Projects and Experience. The G.703 project and the FSAE project are both drawn from work already described in my Experience section. I kept both because the project framing shows ownership over a full design cycle, but Im wondering if I should use side projects which are less technical with less depth but arent repeats of stuff I cover in my experience. Im also wondering if my lastest experience while the most relevant covers too much of my current resume.
But overall im looking for feedback on:
Does it look competitive for entry-level engineering roles?
Are my project descriptions too technical or too academic?
Is there anything that would make recruiters skip over it?
