IBM Hardware and Systems engineers design and deliver the compute platforms that power the world’s most advanced AI cloud and enterprise technologies. From silicon to system our teams collaborate across mechanical electrical computer materials and firmware engineering to design prototype and test next-generation IBM hardware. These roles offer hands-on opportunities to innovate across IBM’s high-performance systems portfolio — shaping the technologies that define what’s next.
As part of IBM’s hardware development organization you will design prototype and validate next-generation compute systems by integrating expertise across mechanical electrical firmware and materials engineering.
Your work may include:
*Developing and optimizing mechanical thermal and electrical components using CAD and EDA tools.
*Building and testing hardware prototypes performing debug failure analysis and driving reliability and serviceability improvements.
*Modeling system-level thermal and mechanical performance to enhance cooling manufacturability and efficiency.
*Creating and using automation firmware and data analysis tools for hardware validation and test.
*Applying design-of-experiments (DOE) methods to evaluate and improve processes materials and hardware designs.
*Supporting process and materials development manufacturing readiness and equipment IT integration within R&D environments.
You will have opportunities to work in areas such as:
*Physical and logic design
*Thermal and mechanical modeling
*Firmware and embedded systems
*Optics photonics and high-speed interconnects
*Advanced materials composites and process development"
"*B.S. or advanced degree in Mechanical Electrical Computer Materials Chemical or Industrial Engineering or a related field.
*Experience with design of experiments (DOE) and/or project management.
*Experience or strong interest in process development materials development or equipment IT support.
*Hands-on experience with hardware design CAD tools (SolidWorks Allegro Cadence) or modeling/simulation environments.
*Proficiency in one or more programming or scripting languages (Python C/C++ Bash).
*Strong analytical and communication skills with a focus on collaboration and data-driven problem solving."
"*Lab-based development or validation work skills.
*Advanced technical degrees (M.S. or Ph.D.) in relevant disciplines.
*Experience leading project teams or cross-functional technical initiatives.
*Proficiency with SolidWorks and/or finite element modeling (FEM) tools.
*Experience with firmware architecture testing and automation.
*Background in thermal modeling (6Sigma FEM) signal processing or hardware reliability.
*Familiarity with optical systems including fiber optics photonics and transceiver design."
