Software Engineering Intern, Developer Tools - 2026

At NVIDIA, we build groundbreaking products for the following businesses: Automotive, Gaming, Deep Learning, and High-Performance Computing. Make a significant impact and contribute to the development of tools and software components used to debug, profile, and analyze GPU accelerated applications through the developer tools product line. Learn and innovate as you develop across any layer of the software stack, from user workflows, graphics user interfaces design, tools software systems, compute or graphics driver code bases, to the lower level of the GPU registers and microcode - develop the most powerful tools to enable next-gen GPU accelerated application breakthrough. As a Developer Tools Software Engineering intern, you will help developing software that empowers GPU application developers to build GPU applications that are known throughout the world – from graphics to compute to deep learning. We are seeking a passionate software developer to join our effort to advance the state of software performance tuning and debugging for the GPUs on NVIDIA platforms. What You'll Be Doing Develop the Compute Sanitizer (which is a suite of memory checker) tools for GPUs running on Linux, Windows, and embedded operating systemsWork with developer tools, driver and architecture teams to contribute to the design, implementation, and verification of product features and components that are part of the Developer Tools product portfolioDevelop user workflows and user interface solutions to empower the user of the productsInnovate and improve our GPU profiling and debugging libraries with new features to allow NVIDIA's customers to extract the best performance out of their applicationsWorking on validation and hardware bring up of NVIDIA GPU developer tools features that are utilized by compute-sanitizer What We Need To See Pursuing a B.S. EE/CS, MS, or PhDPassionate about the GPU - compute - and learning how complex systems workPassionate about quality and driven by resultsStrong programming ability in C, C++Knowledge of computer architecture (e.g.: x86, ARM CPUs, GPUs)Experience working in device drivers, real-time systems, game console middleware, or other low-level library development Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd Background including experience with shipping commercial applications, contributing code to device drivers or system softwareKnowledge of a GPU API such as: Direct3D, Vulkan, OpenGL, OpenCL, CUDA and simulation or Emulation experience - writing and debugging testsExperience with code patching and ELF/DWARF knowledgeUnderstand core technologies as it applies to GPU hardware and ability to read and write assembly language for multiple processor architecturesKnowledge or experience in compute architecture, operating systems, and compilers and for candidates interest in GUI work – experience with Qt NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. We have some of the most brilliant and hardworking people in the world working for us. If you are creative and autonomous, we want to hear from you. The GPU, our invention, serves as the visual cortex of modern computers and is at the heart of our products and services. Our work opens up new universes to explore, enables amazing creativity and discovery, and powers what were once science fiction inventions from artificial intelligence to autonomous cars. NVIDIA is looking for phenomenal people in multiple disciplines to help us accelerate the next wave of computing. JR2007447
