Product Design Intern, AI Infrastructure - Summer 2027

Details

NVIDIA's AI Infrastructure Product Design team creates software used by engineers and researchers to prepare data, run complex workflows, and understand results. This internship offers ownership of a defined product problem from early research through a tested design and implementation handoff. Designers on this team often move between Figma and working HTML prototypes and may hand off HTML directly to engineering. The role calls for a high standard of visual and interaction design alongside technical fluency, and is suited to someone who enjoys making technically complex systems easier to understand and uses large language models and software agents thoughtfully as part of their design and prototyping process.

Responsibilities

• Own a focused design project for an internal AI infrastructure product, from understanding the problem through a validated design and implementation handoff.
• Interview engineers and researchers, map their workflows, and turn findings into clear product requirements, user flows, and interaction models.
• Create precise, implementation-ready interface designs and interactive prototypes in Figma and HTML/CSS, with careful attention to typography, hierarchy, spacing, visual consistency, interaction states, and edge cases.
• Test designs with users and improve them based on evidence.
• Work closely with product managers and software engineers to understand technical constraints, make tradeoffs, and support the design through implementation.
• Use large language models and software agents for research synthesis, concept exploration, prototyping, and documentation while critically reviewing outputs and validating them with users and teammates.

Requirements

• Pursuing a BS or MS in Product Design, Human-Computer Interaction, Interaction Design, Computer Science, or an equivalent program.
• Experience using Figma and writing HTML/CSS, with enough JavaScript to build or modify interactive prototypes and hand off understandable front-end code.
• A portfolio with at least two case studies demonstrating a high standard of visual and interaction design. Case studies should show careful typography, hierarchy, spacing, component behavior, attention to detail, the problem, key decisions, iterations, and the final result.
• At least one portfolio case study must include an interactive or coded prototype.
• Experience conducting user interviews or usability tests and translating findings into specific design changes.

Preferred Qualifications

• Interest in designing tools for AI, data, developer workflows, autonomous vehicles, or other technically complex domains.
• Experience designing enterprise or business software with dense data, multi-step workflows, or unfamiliar technical concepts.
• Familiarity with design systems, accessibility, data visualization, or contributing reusable interface patterns.
• Experience building advanced prototypes or interfaces with JavaScript, React, or another front-end framework.
• A curious and collaborative approach, with examples of taking initiative and improving work through feedback from users and teammates.

Benefits

• Intern hourly rates are USD 20–71, based on position, location, year in school, degree, and experience.
• Eligible for intern benefits.
• NVIDIA is committed to fostering an inclusive work environment and is an equal opportunity employer.
• Applications will be accepted at least until September 26, 2026.
• NVIDIA uses AI tools in its recruiting processes.
