Firmware Developer Intern - Poughkeepsie - 2027

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We need to parse the posting: It starts with Introduction (some fluff, then "Your Role And Responsibilities" then description of firmware teams etc. Then "Ideal candidates will possess..." then "Preferred Education" then "Required Technical And Professional Expertise" then "Preferred Technical And Professional Experience". There's no explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should not include those sections. We need to produce sections: maybe "About the role" (intro?), "Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Qualifications", "Skills". We need to map content. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent. We need to use

for section headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We need to remove boilerplate: Introduction fluff maybe considered boilerplate? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The introduction is more marketing but maybe considered substantive? It says "At IBM, work is more than a job - it's a calling..." Might be considered boilerplate? Not sure. It's not EEO etc. It's generic marketing. Might be considered filler but not explicitly prohibited. However we should preserve all substantive information. The intro is not specific to role; it's generic IBM marketing. Could be considered boilerplate. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." It doesn't say remove generic marketing. So we can keep it? But we need to decide sections. Better to create sections: About the role (intro paragraph), Responsibilities (list of firmware team activities), Requirements (maybe education and required expertise), Qualifications (preferred education?), Skills (technical skills). But we need to avoid duplication. Let's extract content: - Intro paragraph: "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: description of firmware may exist anywhere... list of some firmware teams: Development of the hardware management console web interface and mobile app (Java); Development for the world’s highest security cryptographic processors (C, C++, Java); Development and support of I/O adapters (networking and storage) and Secure Service Containers used to support applications using blockchain technology. (C); Server virtualization and a Parallel Sysplex environment so that mainframes can communicate as a single entity. (Assembler); Implementation of complex z/ Architecture instructions, concurrent and recovery functions (Assembler); Development of control systems for IBM Quantum room temperature electronics. Then: Our engineers apply agile methodologies throughout the entire development cycle, from design, code implementation/review, unit testing, functional testing, simulation, and real hardware integration testing. Some areas use a Unix/Linux based Operating System focusing on embedded programming, communication protocols, host application software support, and user-interfaces. Interface and code designs are done primarily to communicate with different hardware components via various hardware protocols such as PCIe. - Ideal candidates will possess demonstrated software design skills, understanding of front-end, back- end technologies or embedded systems. Team- based experience in software development, agile methodologies, and the ability to perform software performance analysis, debugging and test. - Preferred Education: Bachelor's Degree - Required Technical And Professional Expertise: Passion to pursue career path in Computer Engineering or Computer Science; Fundamental education in software design and/or test; Computer Architecture; Knowledge of one or more of the following programming languages: C, C++, Java, Assembly, PL/X; Scripting knowledge: Python, JavaScript, Perl, Bash, etc; Strong Communication Skills - Preferred Technical And Professional Experience: Development knowledge of Unix/Linux kernel functionality; Knowledge of LAN drivers; FPGA experience; Experience in embedded systems development; Knowledge of web and mobile application development; Tools (Git/GitHub, IntelliJ, etc.) We need to decide sections. Potential sections: - About the role: could be the introductory paragraph (IBM calling). Or we could skip About the role and go straight to Responsibilities. - Responsibilities: the firmware team description and agile methodology etc. - Requirements: maybe the Required Technical And Professional Expertise (passion, fundamental education, computer architecture, programming languages, scripting, communication skills). Also maybe Preferred Education? But that's preferred, not required. - Qualifications: Preferred Education (Bachelor's Degree) and Preferred Technical And Professional Experience. - Skills: maybe combine programming languages etc. But we already have them in Requirements. We need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps we can have three sections: Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications. Let's map: Responsibilities: bullet list of firmware team activities and agile process etc. Requirements: Required Technical And Professional Expertise (list items) plus maybe Ideal candidates will possess... (software design skills, front-end/back-end, embedded systems, team-based experience, agile, performance analysis, debugging, test). That could be part of Requirements. Qualifications: Preferred Education (Bachelor's Degree) and Preferred Technical And Professional Experience (list). We should not include Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to output HTML fragment only. Let's craft:

  Responsibilities

  • Development of the hardware management console web interface and mobile app (Java)
  • Development for the world’s highest security cryptographic processors (C, C++, Java)

  • Design interfaces and code to communicate with different hardware components via hardware protocols such as PCIe

  Requirements

  • Passion to pursue a career path in Computer Engineering or Computer Science
  • Fundamental education in software design and/or testing
  • Computer Architecture knowledge
  • Knowledge of one or more programming languages: C, C++, Java, Assembly, PL/X

  • Knowledge of web and mobile application development
  • Familiarity with tools such as Git/GitHub, IntelliJ, etc.
  We need to ensure proper nesting: inner ul inside li? Could be separate section with heading and then a ul for the preferred experience items. Simpler: after Qualifications heading, we can have a p for Bachelor's Degree, then a ul for preferred experience. Let's do:

  Qualifications

  Preferred education: Bachelor’s Degree

  • Development knowledge of Unix/Linux kernel functionality
  • Knowledge of LAN drivers
  • FPGA experience
  • Experience in embedded systems development
  • Knowledge of web and mobile application development
  • Familiarity with tools such as Git/GitHub, IntelliJ, etc.
  That seems good. We must not repeat job title. No extra. Check for any duplicated lines: we have not duplicated. Check for boilerplate: we omitted the introductory IBM calling paragraph. Should we include it as About the role? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." The intro is generic but maybe considered substantive? It's not specific to role. Might be considered filler. I'd say we can omit it. The posting's "Your Role And Responsibilities" is the main content. So we can skip About the role. Thus we have three sections: Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications. Check that we used

  for each heading. Good. Check that we used

  • for lists. Yes. Check that we used

    for prose: we used a p for Preferred education line. Check that we preserved all substantive information: Did we miss any? Let's verify. From posting: - Firmware may exist anywhere in a computing system from the central computing complex to management consoles, power supplies, and I/O adapters within IBM mainframes. Some firmware teams include: (list). We captured list items but missed the introductory sentence about firmware may exist anywhere... That's substantive. Should we include it? It's a description of scope. Could be part of Responsibilities preamble. We could add a

    before the list. - "Our engineers apply agile methodologies throughout the entire development cycle, from design, code implementation/review, unit testing, functional testing, simulation, and real hardware integration testing." We captured as a bullet. - "Some areas use a Unix/Linux based Operating System focusing on embedded programming, communication protocols, host application software support, and user-interfaces." We captured as bullet. - "Interface and code designs are done primarily to communicate with different hardware components via various hardware protocols such as PCIe." captured. - "Ideal candidates will possess demonstrated software design skills, understanding of front-end, back- end technologies or embedded systems. Team- based experience in software development, agile methodologies, and the ability to perform software performance analysis, debugging and test." We captured as bullets. - "Preferred Education Bachelor's Degree" captured. - "Required Technical And Professional Expertise Passion to pursue career path in Computer Engineering or Computer Science Fundamental education in software design and/or test Computer Architecture Knowledge of one or more of the following programming languages: C, C++, Java, Assembly, PL/X Scripting knowledge: Python, JavaScript, Perl, Bash, etc Strong Communication Skills" captured. - "Preferred Technical And Professional Experience Development knowledge of Unix/Linux kernel functionality Knowledge of LAN drivers FPGA experience Experience in embedded systems development Knowledge of web and mobile application development Tools (Git/GitHub, IntelliJ, etc.)" captured. We missed the sentence: "Firmware may exist anywhere in a computing system from the central computing complex to management consoles, power supplies, and I/O adapters within IBM mainframes." Let's add a

    before the list under Responsibilities. Also maybe we missed "Some firmware teams include:" but that's just intro to list. Thus Responsibilities section:

    Firmware may exist anywhere in a computing system from the central computing complex to management consoles, power supplies, and I/O adapters within IBM mainframes.

    then
    list. Let's incorporate
