$20 - $71 per hourNVIDIA
Software Engineer Intern
Today, we're 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, supportive environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work. Come join the team and see how you can make a lasting impact on the world.
We are looking for a software engineer intern with a strong passion in the self-driving car industry and interests/experiences in mapping, machine learning, and 3D data visualization. NVIDIA plays a meaningful role in the AI and Autonomous Vehicles industry through significant investments in the DRIVE platform and a robust ecosystem of partners. The map team is positioned on the critical path of numerous crucial AV projects, and in tight collaboration with multiple teams. We are a team laser focused on building globally scaled HD mapping solutions. We provide survey level HD Mapping and Localization services for the NVIDIA DRIVE® platform.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Work closely with senior engineers and learn about the tech stack to build high quality, high definition maps in a scalable way.
- Build automation algorithms, data pipelines and visualization tools to improve map building quality/efficiency and support new mapping features.
- Explore exciting new ideas to combine SOTA generative AI technologies and our rich mapping dataset to tackle hard problems in map building, map QA and simulation.
- Engage with various map data consumers (perception, infra, simulation) in AV and Nvidia.
What We Need To See:
- Pursuing a BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related majors
- Excellent programming skills in Python, C++, or Java
- Previous experience or coursework in robotics, automotive, or artificial intelligence
Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd:
- Experience with cloud pipelines & infrastructure including Kubernetes, Docker, AWS
- Experience in AV related areas: Self-Driving Cars, Deep Learning, Computer Vision, SLAM, Sensor fusion, and/or GPU technology
