Which resume format should you use?

Reverse chronological

You have a steady work history. This is the format almost every recruiter and ATS expects by default.

Functional

You're changing fields or have gaps in your employment. Leads with skills rather than a job-by-job timeline.

Combination

You're early career or have worked consistently but for only a few employers. Blends a skills summary with a shorter chronological history.

This template uses the reverse chronological format: the one most electronic engineering technicians should default to, since most Australian recruiters and ATS software expect it.

Professional summary

Electronic engineering technician with hands-on experience assembling, testing and maintaining electronic systems across manufacturing and communications environments. Skilled in fault diagnosis, calibration and working from schematics to keep equipment running to specification. Comfortable documenting test results and working alongside engineers on prototype and production builds.

Key skills

  • Electronic fault diagnosis and repair
  • Circuit assembly and testing
  • Instrument calibration and adjustment
  • Schematic reading and interpretation
  • Installation and maintenance of electronic systems
  • Software testing and QA
  • Regulatory compliance (EMC, ACMA, AS/NZS)
  • Altium Designer for schematic capture and PCB layout
  • MATLAB for data analysis and signal processing
  • LTspice for circuit simulation
  • LabVIEW for test automation and data acquisition
  • Keysight oscilloscopes and signal generators

Experience: example bullet points

  • Assembled and tested prototype control boards for a utilities monitoring project, delivering 25 units on schedule and to specification.
  • Diagnosed faults in telecommunications rack equipment using oscilloscopes and schematics, reducing average repair turnaround from three days to one.
  • Calibrated a fleet of 60 benchtop multimeters and signal generators, keeping all instruments within calibration intervals and passing external audit.
  • Installed and commissioned electronic access control systems across a 12-building campus, coordinating with site staff to minimise disruption.
  • Recorded test results and prepared technical reports for engineering staff, improving traceability of modifications across the production line.

Education

Diploma of Electronics and Communications Engineering (or Certificate IV in Electronics and Communications), typically completed through a registered training organisation such as TAFE, with on-the-job training.

Keywords an ATS is likely to scan for

Applicant tracking systems match your resume against terms in the job ad before a person ever sees it. Only include the ones that actually apply to your experience, but if a term below matches something you've done, use the same wording the job ad uses.

Getting past ATS screening

This is a starting point, not a guarantee of interviews. Tailor every bullet point to your own real experience and the specific job ad.
