TL;DR · Engineering Intern

NVIDIA 2027 Summer Internships: Ph.D. Engineering offers a research-focused internship within the Computer Architecture and Systems teams. Interns will design and implement novel ideas in GPU and CPU architectures, operating systems, AI systems, and distributed systems to advance computing, graphics, and media processing. Key responsibilities include collaborating with internal teams and external researchers to transfer research into products, resulting in prototypes, patents, or original research publications. Candidates should possess programming skills in C, C++, Python, and CUDA, along with a strong research background. Specific technical domains include chip-level and system-level architecture, scalable memory systems, interconnects, hardware-software co-design, and high-performance networking. The work addresses technical challenges in large-scale systems, including power efficiency, LLM training infrastructure, and optimizing GPU-accelerated workloads for AI and crypto algorithms.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement novel ideas in GPU/CPU architectures, operating systems, and distributed systems.
  • Develop technologies for graphics, media processing, and other core business areas.
  • Translate research findings into practical products or new product types for production teams.
  • Produce tangible deliverables including prototypes, patents, and published original research.
  • Optimize performance, power, and energy efficiency in large-scale computing systems.
  • Develop hardware-software co-designs specifically for AI/ML workloads and infrastructure.
  • Create and optimize GPU-accelerated algorithms and parallel computing programming models.
  • Design high-performance networking solutions including topologies, routing, and congestion control.

What we're looking for

  • Must be actively enrolled in a university pursuing a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Must provide an anticipated graduation date (month and year) on the resume or CV.
  • Proficiency in programming languages and technologies including C, C++, Python, and CUDA.
  • Strong background in research with publications at top conferences.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
  • Research experience in at least one area such as GPU/CPU architecture, AI systems, distributed systems, or high-performance networking (depending on the internship).
