2024 Infrastructure Firmware Developer Intern

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)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.
