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
This is for a 2025 summer internship with the following start dates: May - August or June - September for quarter system schools.
The Network engineering internship will focus on various work and tasks related to data network infrastructure automation and engineering. The primary focus of this internship will be to build network automation solutions, simplifying network operational processes and workflows. The candidate will also have the opportunity to build, deploy, maintain and manage network infrastructure and network security devices in a multi-vendor, hybrid cloud, heterogeneous Cisco, Palo Alto and Infoblox TCP/IP based networking environment. Implement and integrate the principles of network reliability engineering into your work.
