Details

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!

We are now looking for a System Software intern (CUDA Driver)! We are hiring software interns to work on the CUDA driver, a core component of our platform for accelerating general purpose computation on the GPU. Our team delivers features and improvements to better realize the potential of NVIDIA hardware for a growing range of computational workloads, ranging from deep learning, scientific computation, and self-driving cars to video games and virtual reality. CUDA defines a unified programming model across a range of system configurations and hardware capabilities. To accomplish this, the CUDA driver interacts with GPU hardware, kernel mode drivers, and the operating system.

Responsibilities

  • Use design abilities, coding expertise, and creativity to deliver the best compute platform in the world.
  • Craft elegant solutions to exciting problems and shape the future direction of CUDA through collaboration with peers across NVIDIA.
  • Participate in design and implementation of new features.
  • Help define forward-looking improvements to the CUDA APIs and programming model.
  • Develop code for multiple operating systems and write effective maintainable and well tested code.

Requirements

  • Pursuing a BS or MS degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related field.
  • Strong C and C++ programming skills.
  • Related development experience.
  • Familiarity with concepts like threads, processes, virtual memory, and multithreaded development.

Ways to stand out from the crowd

  • Understanding of system level architecture, such as interconnects, memory hierarchy, interrupts, and memory-mapped IO.
  • Knowledge of memory coherence and consistency models.
  • Experience with kernel mode development, Windows, Linux, or macOS driver development.

Benefits

  • Hourly rate for interns: 18 USD - 71 USD based on position, location, year in school, degree, and experience.
  • Eligibility for intern benefits.
  • NVIDIA is committed to fostering a diverse work environment and is an equal opportunity employer.
