I'm definitely not an expert on this sort of thing, but as I read your resume, it's not very easy to glance over it and get the gist of your career. I find I'm bogged down by all of the job descriptions. I quickly lose interest and move on to look at something else.

Your resume reviewers should be able to read a job title and have a general idea of the duties and tools you have used in those roles. Cut the verbose-looking lists under each category. Replace those with one organized columnar list of skills, tasks, and programs with which you have proven experience. I think this will help the reader to better quantify your skills.
