Our work at NVIDIA is dedicated towards a computing model focused on visual and AI computing. For two decades, NVIDIA has pioneered visual computing, the art and science of computer graphics, with our invention of the GPU. The GPU has also shown to be spectacularly effective at solving some of the most complex problems in computer science. Today, NVIDIA’s GPU simulates human intelligence, running deep learning algorithms and acting as the brain of computers, robots and self-driving cars that can perceive and understand the world. We are looking to grow our company and teams with the smartest people in the world and there has never been a more exciting time to join our team!
As a Software Engineering RDSS Intern, the candidate will be responsible for supporting in design and development of software solutions in the areas of Data Center Simulation. We are looking for Interns who are passionate about working at the intersection of leading-edge datacentres, compute SW and operating system software.
What you'll be doing:
Contribute to verify, debug, develop, and design simulation platform for next-gen NVIDIA data center systems
