Drove integration and testing of diverse hardware such as motor drivers (H-bridges), pressure/flow sensors, NTC thermistors, encoders, AC/DC signals, analog and digital signals. Actively participating in schematic and electrical design reviews. Enhanced product reliability and performance through autonomous problem-solving and cross-disciplinary collaboration. ### Embedded Software Engineer @ BrewBird Jan 2021 – Jan 2024 | San Francisco Bay Area ### Technical Advisor @ 2play Sports Jan 2023 – Present ### Software Engineer Intern @ Medtronic Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 | Longmont, Colorado, United States ### Myosine Ultrasonic Transducer Test Platform @ Medtronic Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 | Boulder, CO Medtronic served as an industry sponsor to develop this platform. Served as Software Lead for designing and implementing a Ultrasonic Transducer Test Platform for a Senior Design Project. Worked closely with engineers from Medtronic in the software development of frequency and velocity control loops to maintain voltage and current signals in phase, to deliver maximum real power to many kinds of loads with varying reactive impedance components. The test platform served as a diagnostic tool for testing different signal processing techniques and transducer driver hardware components for engineers at Medtronic. ### Student Assistant @ University of Colorado Boulder Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 | Boulder Developed an evaluation board for analysis of the accuracy of a 2D field solver in predicting characteristic impedances of traces of Printed Circuit Board (PCB). ### Teaching Assistant @ University of Colorado Boulder Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Boulder, CO Provided guidance and instruction on coding in Embedded C for ARM Cortex processors, specifically the TI MSP432. Led hands-on sessions on integrating motor drivers through PWM outputs with 16-bit timers, and spearheaded the development of an I2C driver. Offered tailored support to students on a range of final project deliverables, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of both theory and practical application in embedded systems engineering. ### Firmware Engineering Intern @ Intel Corporation Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Longmont, Colorado • Collaboratively worked in an Agile SCRUM team, on live firmware that is shipped to customers • Debugged, implemented solutions in firmware and created tests scripts that helped developers keep track of integrations infrastructure in python. ### Firmware Engineering Intern @ Intel Corporation Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 | Folsom, CA • Triaged and tested firmware in a variety of SSD products. • Developed and refined test scripts. • Debugged live code. • Integrated customer specific features between products. ### Resident Advisor @ University of Colorado Boulder Jan 2017 – Jan 2018 | Boulder, Colorado • Actively created an environment that fostered safety and fun for residents by providing advice, resources, and constant availability. Enforced a culture of care and dependability on the floor resulting in residents testifying of having a strong connection to most persons on the floor and myself, the Resident Advisor. ### Webmaster @ National Society of Black Engineers Jan 2017 – Jan 2018 | Boulder, Colorado • In charge of design, update, and editing of the University of Colorado at Boulder NSBE chapter website. • Assisted in organizing weekly meetings and played a key role in strategizing the chapter's future direction and the development path for its members. ### Mentor @ EngiNearMe Jan 2017 – Jan 2017 | Boulder, Colorado • Mentored a group of three members to build a Weather Station. Implemented digital and analog components and sensors such as a Real Time Clock, altimeter, pressure sensor, temperature sensor and more. Included testing, calibration, analyzing, and debugging code. • Facilitated individual emphasis of work and worked on all parts of the project. ## Education ### Bachelor’s in Science in Minor in, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science University of Colorado Boulder ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/abenezer-argaw --- Source: https://flows.cv/abenezer JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/abenezer/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-29
