IT Lab Tech - Power Card Apprentice

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, let’s talk.

As an Electronics Engineering Technician Apprentice at IBM, you will work in one of the following:

• Power Card Lab Tech

You will have the opportunity to apply your knowledge and experience using the latest tools and technologies to support IBM processors, storage or other semiconductor hardware. Throughout your apprenticeship, you will work closely with experienced engineers, technicians and other mentors in a laboratory or test floor environment to create and execute test or physical characterization plans that assess the electrical performance and characteristics against design and functional requirements.

Where applicable, you will be taught principles of system analysis, defect identification and repair and/or the basics of a variety of lab safety procedures relevant to the physical preparation of samples for chemical, optical, or electrical characterization. To that end, you will be trained in the use of state‑of‑the‑art tools to test, manipulate and inspect product chips, and work with our engineers to interpret and consolidate the obtained data.

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 to 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.
