Linear Algebra Libraries Intern - Summer 2025

We are looking for software engineering interns for our Linear Algebra teams which are a key part of high-performance computing and deep learning software stacks. The main purpose of these libraries is to provide the fastest computing primitives for sparse and dense linear algebra, like Cholesky decomposition, direct and iterative solvers, and matrix products, among many others. We see strong interest in optimization of such key functionalities from various industrial and research organizations - from gaming and machine learning to autonomous driving and chip modeling. Some of these kernels spend several milliseconds while others involve hundreds of GPUs and run for hours; all of these operations need to be optimized for current and future GPUs which can also necessitate changing the underlying algorithms mathematically. Does the idea of being at the heart of these projects and applying your knowledge to develop and optimize algorithms which make an impact around world excite you? If yes, then come and join our team! During your internship, you will work with senior software engineers on the libraries team who will provide mentorship and guide you in developing highly optimized algorithms. Projects will involve implementing new numerical algorithms, defining APIs, analyzing performance, finding appropriate solutions for difficult numerical corner cases, and other general software engineering work.

What you'll be doing:

• Prototype and develop numerical algorithms for high-performance dense and sparse linear algebra libraries for single node and multi GPU clusters
• Analyze the performance of GPU or CPU implementations and find opportunities for improvements.
• Collaborate with team members to understand software use cases and requirements

What we need to see:

• Pursuing a MS or PhD degree in Computational Science, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Engineering, or related field.
• Strong C++ programming, debugging, performance analysis, and test design skills.
• Strong fundamentals in numerical methods.
• Experience implementing sparse or dense linear algebra algorithms.
• Parallel programming experience using CUDA, multi-threading or MPI.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Exposure to floating-point arithmetic and numerical error analysis.
• Knowledge of GPU/CPU and network hardware architecture.
• A scripting language, preferably Python.
• Understanding of compilers and implementation of programming languages

NVIDIA's invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI - the next era of computing - with the GPU acting as the brain of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can perceive and understand the world. Today, we are increasingly known as "the AI computing company". We're looking to grow our company, and build our teams with the smartest people in the world. Join us at the forefront of technological advancement.

NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world's most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking and talented people in the world working for us. If you're creative, autonomous and love a challenge, we want to hear from you!

The hourly rate for our interns is 18 USD - 71 USD. Our internship hourly rates are a standard pay determined based on the position and your location, year in school, degree, and experience.
You will also be eligible for Intern benefits. NVIDIA accepts applications on an ongoing basis.

NVIDIA is committed to fostering a diverse work environment and proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
