Server I/O Logic Design

Introduction
The Server IO logic design team delivers both proprietary and industry standard interfaces for IBM's POWER systems and Z Mainframe processors. We work on cutting edge technology and data rates from 2.5 Gbps to 64 Gbps or higher.

Employees in this role capture product feature requirements and use them to create and maintain design documentation, such as functional specifications and high-level design documents, to develop logic for IBM hardware and technology products including server systems, storage systems and networking systems. They also ensure that the components are unit tested and ready to be integrated into the system product. Hardware logic developers also provide fixes to defects identified by the verification team or physical design team during the development life cycle. They also assist the lab team to characterize and validate the post-silicon hardware, and assist the firmware team in software procedure debug.

Above all, we are looking for applicants who will thrive in an open, vibrant, flexible, fun-spirited, collaborative environment and desire creative freedom and an opportunity to work on high performing teams!
