We’re currently seeking for an internship position in the Data Processing Developer Technology team. Would you enjoy researching parallel algorithms to accelerate AI and Data Processing workloads on advanced computer architectures? Do you find it rewarding to identify and eliminate system bottlenecks to achieve the best possible performance on pioneering computer hardware? Could you be thrilled about an opportunity to partner with the developer community, working at the forefront of technology breakthroughs that contribute to the success of an industry leader like NVIDIA? If so, we invite you to consider an internship with the Developer Technology Team.


What you will be doing:

  • In this position, you will research and develop techniques to GPU accelerate workloads in deep learning, machine learning or other AI domains.

  • Work directly with other technical experts in their fields (industry and academia) to perform in-depth analysis and optimization of complex AI and HPC algorithms to ensure optimal AI solutions on modern CPU and GPU architectures.

  • Publish and/or present discovered optimization techniques in developer blogs or relevant conferences to engage and educate the developer community.

  • Influence the design of next-generation hardware architectures, software, and programming models in collaboration with research, hardware, system software, libraries, and tools teams at NVIDIA.

What we need to see:

  • Currently pursuing a PhD or Master degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related computationally focused science degree.

  • Programming fluency in C/C++ with a deep understanding of algorithms and software development.

  • A background that includes parallel programming, e.g., CUDA, OpenACC, OpenMP, MPI, pthreads, etc.

  • Effective communication and organization skills, with a logical approach to problem solving, good time management, and prioritization skills.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

  • Expertise in parallelization and performance optimization of Deep Learning models arising from Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision, Recommender Systems, etc.

  • Excellent understanding of linear algebra.

Questions you could be asked

  1. Walk me through a computer vision problem you solved, from raw data to a deployed model.
  2. What NLP problem have you worked on, and how did you measure whether it actually worked?
  3. Tell me about a project where parallel computing was part of your work. What did you do?
  4. Tell me about a project where deep learning was part of your work. What did you do?
  5. Tell me about a project where machine learning was part of your work. What did you do?

Adapt your resume

  • List these exact terms on your resume: Computer Vision, NLP, Parallel Computing, Deep Learning, and Machine Learning. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.
  • Attach one line of real, concrete experience to at least one of them — a tool named with nothing behind it rarely survives a human read.
  • Lead with what you built, trained or shipped — this role is judged on the AI system itself, not the tools around it.
