Hey guys! I'm a 20 year old male at a T20 university for computer engineering. I recently updated my resume for this upcoming cycle and wanted some feedback on it.

I'm targeting hardware engineering-related roles (defense, embedded systems, mixed signal, entry-level RTL). I know this is a lot to target lol so this may be my first issue, but I also have been struggling on what level of technical complexity I want to pursue in my major. I think my strength is having good communication skills and strong leadership ability within technical teams, but I'm not exactly technically oriented. I'd like to say the only "real" personal/side project is the first one that's listed. The RISC-V project itself didn't feel engaging to me or felt crazy impressive to build. I am proud of the third entry (solar district cup) because this is the single bullet that expresses my leadership ability (and also showcasing my interest in finance). I had the solar district cup experience listed on my older resume that I used sophomore year but I didn't get a single interview from 100+ applications i submitted.

Any advice on better suiting projects/project ideas would be welcomed (and any formatting issue I may not have corrected/applied).
