Deep Learning Scientist Intern, LLM, Multimodal and Agentic AI - Summer 2027

NVIDIA, US, CA, Santa Clara

The role

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. Would you like to join us at the forefront of technological advancement?

Join our team and help build the next generation of large language models, multimodal foundation models, and agentic AI systems. Intelligent machines powered by AI that can understand, reason, plan, interact with people, and take actions are no longer science fiction. Today, LLMs and multimodal models can process and generate text, vision, speech, audio, and video, while increasingly using tools and interacting with complex environments to solve real-world tasks. This is truly an extraordinary time. The era of AI has begun.
