Seriously, your experience as an Engineer is a one line entry.
For example;
2003-2014 NASA Engineer Rocket engine division.
Suggest a one sentence key accomplishment under it. Still keep it to one page.

At the other extreme, I knew a very accomplished engineering professor. When asked to provide a two paragraph summary, he could not do it. He felt compelled to provide a 64 page (no joke) CV that listed every publication and every presentation he ever did.

When asked to make a 20 minute presentation, he tried to talk for an hour and a half. His PowerPoint presentations were a four point fount. Every inch of it was covered with words so small no one could read it.

Emotionally he could not edit. He had no self discipline.
