Entry level Hardware Developer - Austin, TX - 2027

At IBM, work is more than a job - it's a calling: To build. To design. To code. To consult. To think along with clients and sell. To make markets. To invent. To collaborate. Not just to do something better, but to attempt things you've never thought possible. Are you ready to lead in this new era of technology and solve some of the world's most challenging problems? If so, lets talk. Design Verification Engineer As a CPU/ASIC Verification Engineer, you will be part of a team that’s responsible for the pre-silicon functional and performance verification of our chipsets. You will work on planning, building, and executing the verification testplan for an area of our core, cache/nest subsystem, memory hierarchy, I/O subsystem, or other on-silicon IP used in our future IBM Power Systems and IBM Z Systems offerings. You will use state-of-the-art techniques to simulate and verify the designs of these custom microprocessor-based systems. The job uses both hardware and software engineering skills, and entails creating environments and methodologies for simulating the VHDL input, as well as analysis and problem debug. Verification is performed at various levels within the design hierarchy. Responsibilities: • Own the verification environments that will identify pre-silicon functional and/or performance issues for specific microprocessor component(s). • Document verification environment details and communicate work progress. In a world where technology never stands still, we understand that dedication to our clients’ success, innovation that matters, and trust and personal responsibility in all our relationships, lives in what we do as IBMers as we strive to be the catalyst that makes the world work better. Being an IBMer means you’ll be able to learn and develop yourself and your career, you’ll be encouraged to be courageous and experiment every day, all whilst having continuous trust and support in an environment where everyone can thrive whatever their personal or professional background. Our IBMers are growth minded, always staying curious, open to feedback and learning new information and skills to constantly transform themselves and our company. They are trusted to provide on-going feedback to help other IBMers grow, as well as collaborate with colleagues keeping in mind a team focused approach to include different perspectives to drive exceptional outcomes for our customers. The courage our IBMers have to make critical decisions every day is essential to IBM becoming the catalyst for progress, always embracing challenges with resources they have to hand, a can-do attitude and always striving.
