Internship: Hardware Verification (m/w/x)

Introduction
The hardware team in Boeblingen develops the most powerful server systems in the world – in an international work environment with our partner labs in the USA Israel and India. We are using modern verification methods and are continuously optimizing our development processes.

Your Role and Responsibilities
Be part of IBM’s international hardware development team in 2025! Work on the next generation of IBM’s industry leading servers.

We can offer a thrilling topic for internship (preferred is a full-time internship of 6 months). Telling us the planned duration and start date of your internship is mandatory.

Title: Developing Hardware Verification Hypervisor Test Environment

The IBM Hardware Verification team is developing a minimal hypervisor for simulation environments of Z systems. It implements basic hypervisor functionalities to support hardware verification test scenarios such as booting a Linux guest and running performance test cases.

IBM searches for a student who develops a test environment for this new hypervisor code. As part of a CI/CD process the test environment is supposed to detect breakages of the hypervisor functionality fast and reliably to ensure high code quality and improve development efficiency. The test environment needs to be developed maintained and extended according to new functionality of the hypervisor code.

Additionally the use of an IBM AI code assistance tool to automatically generate test cases for the verification environment shall be evaluated.
