IBM
Date: 14 hours ago
City: Lowell, MA
Contract type: Full time
Introduction
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
Your Role And Responsibilities
Your Role and Responsibilities
Have you heard about agile development, but want to learn more about how it ‘works’? Are you someone that has a foundational understanding of
development or programming concepts, but want to take a less traditional path to achieve it?
This role is multi-faceted and consists of providing lab support and hands on Power I/O Concurrent Maintenance (IOCM) testing. The lab work is to
support both Development and Test teams in the Rochester, MN lab, providing hardware set-up on Central Electronic Complex (CECs) and I/O
Expansion drawers, configuration changes, adapter & cable add/remove, firmware updates, Operating System updates, Virtual Machine (VM)
management, Hardware Management Console (HMC) management, and security compliance for Power systems. The IOCM work is hands on end-
to-end testing in the Rochester lab, defining and executing test cases, creating defects for issues found, working with Development to resolve the
issues, and verifying fixes.
What is an Apprenticeship?
IBM Apprenticeship Program, which lasts approximately 12 months, 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.
Who You Are
An apprenticeship is about learning. We’re seeking candidates who have the following requirements, but we know you’re just getting your career
started, and we’re committed to helping you learn and grow. If you’ve had some experience with coding or development in the past, you’re exactly
the type of candidate we’re looking for….
Drive and eagerness to learn
Strong problem solving and communication skills
Able to work independently and take initiative, as well as work collaboratively and contribute to an agile team environment
Some knowledge or experience in ONE or more of the following:
Java, JavaScript, PHP, C#, Objective-C, C/C++, Python, Ruby and/or functional languages (Haskell, Scala, F#, Clojure)
Design Thinking
Hypothesis driven development
Social coding
Agile principles
Container development using tools such as Docker or Vagrant
Application Development, DevOps automation, and the development toolchain (e.g. Travis, Jenkins, Junit, automated test tools)
What’s the Experience?
As an apprentice, you'll join with other apprentices in a local cohort. You'll go through your first few weeks together, learning about IBM and the
skills you'll be attaining throughout your apprenticeship. Then, you'll work with your managers and mentors to progress through your personal skills
roadmap, learning and demonstrating new knowledge and competencies through hands-on application with your project teams. You'll complete
milestones along the way, earning digital credentials to validate your skills, and will come back together with other apprentices to participate in on-
going training and development focused on your professional and technical skills.
As a Software Engineer Apprentice at IBM, you’ll work as part of a larger team of experienced developers and mentors in an interactive,
collaborative environment. You’ll learn the fundamentals of development, software design, testing, and cloud computing, agile principles, IBM
Design Thinking, DevOps and continuous delivery. You will also learn how to resolve IBM customer issues, debug customer problems and
environments, and increase Cloud Service skills, and will build the skills to grow your career as a Software Developer. Best of all, you are a
contributing member of your team, putting forward ideas, taking on responsibilities and making choices about how you get the job done just like any
other IBMer.
