Poughkeepsie Hiring Infrastructure Lab Technician Apprentice

Infrastructure Lab Technician Apprentice at IBM

IBM Infrastructure & Technology designs and operates the systems that keep the world running, from high-resiliency mainframes and hybrid cloud platforms to networking, automation and site reliability. Teams here protect the performance, security and scalability that clients and industries rely on every day.

As an Infrastructure Lab Technician Apprentice, you will apply your knowledge using current tools and technologies to support IBM processors, storage and other semiconductor hardware. You will work alongside experienced engineers, technicians and mentors in a production and/or development hardware raised floor environment to maintain hardware tied to the IBM Infrastructure Group.

Early on, you will learn the day-to-day responsibilities of a hardware raised floor across several Infrastructure raised floors. The work is hands-on and physical, with some lifting and dexterity requirements. You will also learn lab safety procedures for the raised floor environment and the hardware life cycle workload applications, and you will certify through testing in each responsibility.

Within the hardware life cycle, you will rack, stack and cable new hardware (power and network), and un-rack and pack old hardware and cabling.

What is an Apprenticeship?

The IBM Apprenticeship Program is an official registered apprenticeship recognized by the Department of Labor (DOL). Graduates receive a nationally recognized credential from the DOL. You will complete required learning hours and on-the-job training to build the skills the role needs. Most apprentices finish within 12 months, and you can progress at your own pace. After you graduate and receive your certificate, you can apply to available full-time roles at IBM.

Program Structure

You will start with a local cohort of apprentices, covering your first few weeks together on IBM and the skills you will build. After that, you will work with managers and mentors on a personal skills roadmap, demonstrating new knowledge through hands-on work with project teams.
