IBM – Software Engineer Intern

Job Description

IBM is offering an exciting opportunity for aspiring engineers to join its India Systems Development Lab (ISDL) as a Software Engineer Intern in Bangalore. ISDL is one of IBM’s premier research and development centers that focuses on building advanced technology solutions across the company’s systems portfolio. The lab works on cutting-edge innovations in processor architecture, firmware, operating systems, and software-defined infrastructure. Interns joining this program will gain exposure to advanced technologies such as hybrid cloud computing, AI-driven infrastructure, and next-generation enterprise systems.

As a Software Engineer Intern, you will collaborate with experienced engineers and researchers working on complex systems that power large-scale enterprise applications. The role focuses on functional verification and validation of processors or ASIC-based systems. Interns will gain hands-on experience in computer architecture concepts, processor design, instruction set architecture, and hardware verification techniques. Working in a collaborative environment, you will help validate system functionality and ensure that new hardware and software features meet performance and reliability standards.

The internship also provides valuable exposure to low-level programming, scripting, and system-level debugging within Linux and Unix environments. Interns will contribute to development tasks using languages such as C and C++, while also using scripting languages like Python, Perl, or Shell for automation and testing. By working with Git repositories and CI/CD workflows, interns will learn modern development practices while contributing to real-world projects that support IBM’s hybrid cloud and AI infrastructure solutions.

Roles & Responsibilities

1. Assist in the functional verification and validation of processors and ASIC components to ensure reliable hardware and system performance.

2. Analyze processor architecture and core design specifications to validate instruction set behavior and logic verification processes.

3. Work with multi-processor systems to understand cache coherency, memory subsystems, and system-level communication protocols.

4. Support validation of system interfaces and protocols including PCIe, CXL, DDR memory, Ethernet, and storage interfaces.

5. Develop and execute validation scripts using programming and scripting languages such as C, C++, Python, Perl, or Shell.

6. Collaborate with engineering teams to identify system issues, perform debugging, and verify functionality across hardware and software layers.

7. Contribute to software development and automation tasks in Linux or Unix environments while following modern development practices.

8. Use version control systems such as Git to manage code contributions and collaborate with team members on shared projects.

9. Participate in continuous integration and DevOps workflows to validate builds and maintain code quality standards.

10. Document testing processes, debugging procedures, and verification results to ensure knowledge sharing and maintain technical documentation.

Requirements & Eligibility

1. Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electronics, or a related technical discipline. Final-year students or recent graduates are typically preferred.

2. Strong understanding of computer architecture concepts including processor design, instruction set architecture, and system-level components.

3. Knowledge of multi-processor systems including memory subsystems, cache coherency mechanisms, and input/output interfaces.

4. Proficiency in C or C++ programming within Unix or Linux environments for system-level development and debugging.

5. Strong scripting skills using languages such as Python, Perl, or Shell for automation and system testing.

6. Familiarity with hardware description languages such as Verilog or VHDL used for hardware verification and simulation.

7. Experience working in Linux or Unix environments including system debugging, command-line tools, and software development workflows.

8. Understanding of version control systems such as Git and basic knowledge of CI/CD processes used in modern development environments.

9. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to work on complex system-level challenges.

10. Ability to collaborate effectively within engineering teams and contribute to innovative technology development projects.

Expected Salary

The typical stipend for a Software Engineer Intern at large technology companies in India generally ranges between ₹40,000 to ₹90,000 per month, depending on the candidate’s technical skills, academic background, and internship duration. Interns at global technology organizations like IBM may also receive mentorship opportunities, access to advanced learning resources, and the possibility of a full-time job offer based on performance.
