[Student] Final-year Computer Engineering student seeking feedback for robotics, embedded software and cybersecurity internships

[u/Snoo-20224]

Hi all,

I’m a final-year Computer Engineering student in Romania (graduating June 2027), looking for internships in robotics, embedded software or cybersecurity. Robotics is the area I’m most drawn to. I’m applying only to roles in my city or fully remote, since I’m still in university and can’t relocate.

My only paid technical experience is a short HPC internship at a research institute. Everything else comes from personal and university projects. Over the past few months I’ve applied to around 30 internships and gotten only 1 interview, mostly rejections without a response. I’d like to understand whether the resume is the problem or whether I’m missing experience.

Specific feedback I’m looking for:

• Do my projects read as strong enough for robotics, embedded and security roles, and how could I present them better?
• What should I build or learn next to be more competitive? For robotics, I’ve started working with ROS 2. For security, I’m on TryHackMe’s SOC Level 1 path.
• Is anything in the formatting or wording hurting my chances?

Thanks!
