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, let's talk..
As a Hardware Design Technician Apprentice for Electronics Components at IBM, you will have the opportunity to develop a comprehensive understanding of electronic component selection, qualification, and management for the design of electronic card sub-assemblies that comprise our z, Power, and storage systems.
Throughout your apprenticeship, you will collaborate closely with experienced engineers and mentors to gain knowledge of various electronic component technologies, including the selection and recommendation of optimal components for development teams and the qualification process for new technologies and components in hardware designs. Additionally, you will interact and work with leading electronic component suppliers, contributing to the enhancement of the supplier lifecycle management process, a critical aspect of supplier management and engagement.
What is an Apprenticeship?
IBM Apprenticeship Program is an official registered apprenticeship recognized by the Department of Labor (DOL). Every graduate of a Registered Apprenticeship program receives a nationally-recognized credential from the DOL.
During the apprenticeship duration, you will be required to complete specific learning hours and on the job training that has been outlined to ensure you are developing the skills and competencies essential to the role. You will be able to learn and grow at your own pace, but we expect most apprentices will complete their learning within 12 months. Once you graduate and receive your certificate from our apprentice program, you will be eligible to apply to available full-time roles at IBM.
