Job description
NVIDIA is seeking enthusiastic New College Graduates to join the Applied Systems Engineering team in a 12-month rotation program focused on next-generation AI supercomputing pre-clusters. The program includes four 3-month rotations through various teams, allowing participants to collaborate with senior engineers on projects related to large-scale GPU compute clusters. Candidates will gain exposure to system-level designs, integration, and production-readiness activities. This role is ideal for those who are curious, systems-minded, and eager to learn about the lifecycle of AI infrastructure.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, or a related technical field.
- Experience with software development or scripting in Linux, Bash, Python, C, C++, Java, Go, or similar technologies.
- Ability to analyze technical data, identify patterns, summarize findings, and communicate conclusions clearly.
- Interest in large-scale systems, AI infrastructure, datacenter systems, hardware/software integration, or distributed computing.
- Strong collaboration and communication skills, with a willingness to ask questions, learn quickly, and work across engineering teams.
Responsibilities
- Contribute to system-level designs for large-scale accelerated computing environments.
- Evaluate, prototype, and validate emerging infrastructure, hardware, software, firmware, networking, storage, and accelerator technologies.
- Support end-to-end system integration, bring-up, validation, and production-readiness activities across cross-functional engineering teams.
- Define, document, and communicate engineering requirements, design tradeoffs, debug methods, findings, and recommendations.
- Analyze workload, telemetry, performance, reliability, and operational data to identify issues and improvement opportunities.
- Build or improve dashboards, automation, tools, and workflows that support issue detection, diagnosis, recovery, and technical decision-making.
- Present technical work and communicate risks, blockers, status, and recommendations through design reviews, project readouts, and cross-functional forums.
Benefits
- Employees at NVIDIA are often offered comprehensive, day-one benefits—including medical, dental, and vision coverage with HSA support, life and disability insurance, an Employee Assistance Program, and a 401(k) with auto-enrollment. Many roles also have generous time off and holidays, donation matching (up to $10,000), and a wide menu of extras like FSAs, commuter benefits, legal and identity-theft protection, pet insurance, and wellness discounts. Optional programs can include student-loan and home-purchase support, plus family care resources and expert medical services.
