Machine Learning Compiler Research Intern - Summer 2025

For two decades, NVIDIA has pioneered visual computing, the art and science of computer graphics. With our invention of the GPU - the engine of modern visual computing - the field has expanded to encompass video games, movie production, product design, medical diagnosis and scientific research. Today, visual computing is becoming increasingly central to how people interact with technology, and there has never been a more exciting time to join our team!

NVIDIA is hiring software engineer interns for its GPU-accelerated Deep Learning team. Academic and commercial groups around the world are using GPUs to power a revolution in deep learning, enabling breakthroughs in problems from image classification to speech recognition to natural language processing and artificial intelligence. Join NVIDIA's team building software which will be used by the entire deep learning research community.

What you'll be doing:

In this role, you will be responsible for developing highly optimized solutions for deep learning algorithms. You’ll collaborate with members of the open source deep learning software engineering community to define and implement the features needed to accelerate the next generation of deep learning software frameworks. The scope of these efforts ranges from defining public APIs, performance tuning and analysis, crafting and implementing compiler and optimization techniques for neural networks, and other general software engineering work.

What we need to see:

• Pursuing Master's or PhD degree in CS or related field.

• Excellent C/C++ programming and software design skills, including debugging, performance analysis, and test design.

• Knowledge of CPU and/or GPU architecture. CUDA or OpenCL programming experience desired but not required.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Experience with the following technologies: deep learning models and algorithms, deep learning framework design, high performance compiler design, or EDA synthesis and optimization algorithms.

• You have a history of mentoring others.

With competitive salaries and a generous benefits package, we are widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. We have some of the most brilliant and talented people in the world working for us and, due to unprecedented growth, our elite engineering teams are rapidly growing. If you're a creative and autonomous engineering student with a real passion for technology, we want to hear from you.

The hourly rate for our interns is 18 USD - 71 USD. Our internship hourly rates are a standard pay determined based on the position and your location, year in school, degree, and experience.

You will also be eligible for Intern benefits. NVIDIA accepts applications on an ongoing basis. ​
