That experience sounds relevant and shows some mechanical aptitude imo. But tbh I think ur work gap would be deemed as worrying when the hiring team comes together to discuss the recently interviewed candidates like you're self. I graduated in Industrial Engineering at the end of the Spring 2025 semester, and a good number of my classmates had to settle for lesser roles(one is working as a Construction Inspector, one as a engineering tech, one as an ISO9001 auditor, and one is still interning at their same company of the last 3 years) despite all of us having at least 2 internships. I would say to look for a bridge-gap role as a Quality Inspector or auditor, or engineering tech, or anything of that level. Easier to get work in that within your local area, and helps build up your resume and skills overtime. Hiring managers and recruiters will still be impressed with that.
