Yi-Chi (Trista) Chen

SJSU Software Engineering · May 2027

Taiwanese, currently in San Jose, and a February 29 baby — so I only get a real birthday every four years. I like problems that do not sit still: a noisy sensor, a racey waitlist, a rover arm that has to feel honest in your hands.

Some days that is firmware. Some days it is software. A lot of days it is both.

I currently do EMC/RF validation at Element Materials Technology and serve as an officer at the SJSU Software & Computer Engineering Society. I have also interned in firmware at Alef, built Mission Control tools for SJSU Robotics, and shipped event software with SCE.

Looking for internships now and new-grad roles after May 2027 in firmware, robotics, validation, or software.
