System Software Engineer Intern

at  NVIDIA

For over two decades, NVIDIA has pioneered visual computing, the art and science of computer graphics. With our invention of the GPU - the engine of modern visual computing - the field has expanded to encompass PC games, movie production, product design, medical diagnosis, scientific research, computer vision, and deep learning. Today, visual computing is becoming increasingly central to how people get along with technology, and there has never been a more exciting time to join our team.
NVIDIA is now in the best position to take mobile visual computing to the next, previously unimagined level with Tegra, NVIDIA’s System-on-Chip (SoC). Tegra is powering a wide range of devices, from our own SHIELD consumer products to data centers and next-generation cars.
To help this work we are looking for a System Software Engineering Intern to tackle increasingly hard problems to control low level SoC functionality related to power, clocks, performance, system initialization and thermal management with a great team.
