[quote=Anonymous]Skills which the Fed labs and systems centers nearly always desire for an ECE in the 854 or 855 series include: C or C++ programming, UNIX/Linux application programming, Python, UNIX/Linux kernel programming, assembly programming (x86 or ARM), Matlab programming, Mathematica, R programming, GIT or SVN experience, GCC or LLVM compiler experience, circuit design, signal processing, familiarity with Radio/ RF modulation & coding/ RF technology, logic design with VHDL/Verilog for FPGAs, ability to write/documents in clear language, familiarity with various test equipment (oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, signal generator, etc.). No one candidate will have all of these. Even just 1 or 2 might be enough to get the foot in the door, although more us obviously better.

If a resume lists relevant engineering skills, and has relevant key words describing courses / tools / experience, describing school projects and such, then the GPA matters less. A 1 or 2 page resume is fine for a new grad, provided there is relevant content on every page.

List all work experience from the college years, particularly if one was doing work during the semester (which by itself can lower the GPA for lack of time to study).

Btw, I am looking for most of those skills when I look at resumes for my commercial world job. Always always explicitly indicate US Citizen. [/quote]
