Job description

NVIDIA is seeking interns to join the Learning and Perception research team, focusing on embodied and agentic AI. The team is dedicated to impactful research in areas like perception, agentic reasoning, and multi-modal learning. Interns will collaborate with experienced mentors and contribute to projects that often lead to publications in top venues. This role offers the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technology and apply research to real-world applications.

Requirements

  • Must be pursuing a PhD in Computer Science/Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Excellent knowledge of AI theory and practice, particularly in computer vision, LLMs, and agents.
  • Strong programming skills in rapid prototyping environments such as Python or C++.
  • Familiarity with common machine learning frameworks like PyTorch.
  • A promising research track record.
  • Excellent communication skills.

Responsibilities

  • Research, design, and implement novel embodied and agentic AI methods.
  • Work collaboratively with a mentor and a team of researchers to develop ideas through experimentation.
  • Partner with product and engineering groups to translate research breakthroughs into real-world applications.
  • Rapidly prototype and iterate on ideas using state-of-the-art hardware and infrastructure.

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.
