System Software Engineer Intern, Systems Infrastructure, Summer 2026

NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself over two decades. Our invention of the GPU in 1999 fueled the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI and enabled the next era of computing. NVIDIA is a “learning machine” that constantly evolves by adapting to new opportunities that are hard to solve, that matter to the world, and that only we can tackle. This is our life’s work, to amplify human imagination and intelligence, and expand what is possible. Make the choice to join us today.

The NVIDIA Infrastructure Group is seeking world-class programmers to design, implement, and debug the next generation of large-scale, general-purpose graphics and computing chips. In this role, you will help build the core verification infrastructure that drives the development of our GPU and Tegra chips.
 

This strongly object-oriented C++ and Python infrastructure encompasses several extensive applications that allow us to efficiently verify the world's largest chips with a sophisticated distributed computing execution and triage environment. Come and join our diverse, international, fast-paced team with high production-quality standards.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Developing environments to program and test next-generation GPU and SoC features well before they are integrated into products or supported by driver software. Every day brings new and meaningful challenges.
• Collaborating with colleagues across architecture, hardware, and software teams to unlock the functionality and performance of next-generation NVIDIA chips.
• Participating in the full chip development lifecycle—from architectural specification through release to production.

What We Need to See:

• BS or MS (or equivalent experience) in CS, CE, EE, or a related field.
• Strong proficiency in C++ programming.
• Familiarity with compute architecture, OS design, or driver development (a strong plus).
• Python programming experience (a plus).
• Excellent communication skills.

NVIDIA is widely considered one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. We employ some of the most forward-thinking and dedicated people in the world. Are you passionate about joining our life work to amplify human creativity and intelligence?
