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

We are part of a world-class development team that pioneers industry-leading hardware for IBM POWER Systems servers and more including OpenPOWER, Storage, Quantum, and IBM Research systems. As a Printed Circuit Board Layout Technician Apprentice, you will learn to design complex PCB layouts for our hardware products. The technician will eventually own the PCB layout implementation and demonstrate a profound understanding of all aspects of hardware development, manufacturing, test, and the numerous engineering skills involved in PCB design. You will work in a fast-paced environment with a team of electrical, mechanical, signal integrity, power, and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)/Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) engineers, among others.

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.
