Software Engineering Intern, Core Computer Vision - Fall 2025

Today, NVIDIA is tapping into the unlimited potential of AI to define the next era of computing. An era in which our GPU acts as the brains of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can understand the world. Doing what’s never been done before takes vision, innovation, and the world’s best talent. As an NVIDIAN, you’ll be immersed in a diverse, encouraging environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work. Come join the team and see how we can make a lasting impact on the world!

Our team builds and optimizes computer vision SDKs and cloud services to bring real-time hardware-accelerated AI to data centers, gaming rigs, cars, robots, buildings, medical devices, and more. We bring together multidisciplinary expertise in software engineering, algorithmics, and performance at scale to enable AI developers across the world.

What you’ll be doing:

• Develop Computer Vision pipelines for AI applications (Python, C++, CUDA)

• Profile and optimize

• Performance analysis: identification of performance bottlenecks and theoretical limits

• Propose and implement performance optimizations

• Validate and debug Computer Vision pipelines

• Design and implement validation tooling

• Troubleshoot functional issues

• Contribute to large codebases combining custom C++ and Python with distributed architectures (microservices, Kubernetes, Triton) to deliver computer vision at scale.

• Work in direct collaboration with a team of experienced engineers

What we need to see:

• Pursuing MS or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related area

• At least one of the following courses: Operating Systems, Computer Architecture or Embedded Systems

• Strong experience with C/C++ and Python

• Previous exposure to GPGPU (CUDA, OpenCL, GLSL) or multithreaded/multi-process programming (POSIX threads, OpenMP, TBB, IPC)

• Good software engineering fundamentals (source control, testing/validation, containerization)

• Experience with performance analysis and optimization

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Passionate about classical and machine-learning based computer vision

• Experience with advanced CUDA development

• History of multi-disciplinary creativity and innovation (for instance experience with hardware & software projects in robotics)
