Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCheryl Nielsen is a multidisciplinary engineer blending 11 years of applied experience in software, hardware, and physics research, now pursuing an MS in Quantum Technology at San Jose State University. She has built mobile test applications at Intel, improved embedded-system UIs at NASA Ames, and supported pulse-power experiments and QA workflows in industry, giving her a rare cross-domain fluency from lab benches to production code. As a graduate teaching assistant she communicates complex physics and lab techniques to non-expert students, manages course materials, and designs assessment rubrics—skills that mirror her history of translating user needs into working software and documentation. Trained in physics and computer science with certifications in Linux/Unix administration and programming, she combines hands-on electronics, soldering and calibration experience with modern software stacks (C, C++, Java, Objective-C, OpenGL-ES). Colleagues describe her as a pragmatic problem-solver who leverages data and team facilitation to drive measurable improvements in reliability and usability.
