Introduction

High availability, reliability, and integrity are key attributes of our IBM Z server family for which we develop key firmware components in our IBM location in Ehningen, preparing and enabling their use for modern and advanced applications.

Our team is responsible for the firmware implementing cryptographic functions and the related infrastructure firmware. We are, for example, involved in matters of digit asset protection, standardization, and quantum computer safe encryption. As powerful encryption becomes more relevant and with more customers using it, we are looking to extend our team to address this need and to develop and to deliver highest quality cryptographic firmware.

We are a highly motivated team, using modern developments tools and processes, and if this caught your interest, we are looking forward to your application.
