Firmware Developer Intern - Poughkeepsie - 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. Firmware may exist anywhere in a computing system from the central computing complex to management consoles, power supplies, and I/O adapters within IBM mainframes. Some firmware teams include: * Development of the hardware management console web interface and mobile app (Java) * Development for the world’s highest security cryptographic processors (C, C+ +, Java) * Development and support of I/O adapters (networking and storage) and Secure Service Containers used to support applications using blockchain technology. (C) * Server virtualization and a Parallel Sysplex environment so that mainframes can communicate as a single entity. (Assembler) * Implementation of complex z/ Architecture instructions, concurrent and recovery functions (Assembler) * Development of control systems for IBM Quantum room temperature electronics Our engineers apply agile methodologies throughout the entire development cycle, from design, code implementation/review, unit testing, functional testing, simulation, and real hardware integration testing. Some areas use a Unix/Linux based Operating System focusing on embedded programming, communication protocols, host application software support, and user-interfaces. Interface and code designs are done primarily to communicate with different hardware components via various hardware protocols such as PCIe. Ideal candidates will possess demonstrated software design skills, understanding of front-end, back- end technologies or embedded systems. Team- based experience in software development, agile methodologies, and the ability to perform software performance analysis, debugging and test. * Passion to pursue career path in Computer Engineering or Computer Science * Fundamental education in software design and/or test * Computer Architecture * Knowledge of one or more of the following programming languages: C, C++, Java, Assembly, PL/X * Scripting knowledge: Python, JavaScript, Perl, Bash, etc * Strong Communication Skills * Development knowledge of Unix/Linux kernel functionality * Knowledge of LAN drivers * FPGA experience * Experience in embedded systems development * Knowledge of web and mobile application development * Tools (Git/GitHub, IntelliJ, etc.) United States Infrastructure & Technology Hybrid Internship POUGHKEEPSIE, US (0147) International Business Machines Corporation
