NVIDIA 2027 Internships: Ph.D. Research Hardware
Role Summary
This is a Ph.D. student internship in hardware research focused on circuit and VLSI design, ASIC development, and advanced EDA methodologies. The role involves developing novel approaches, collaborating with researchers and product teams, and transferring research into prototypes, patents, or publications.
Experience Level
Entry-level internship for currently enrolled Ph.D. students; professional years of experience not required beyond research work during the Ph.D. program.
Responsibilities
Core responsibilities include designing and validating novel hardware research and delivering tangible results.
- Design and implement novel circuit and VLSI approaches, including ASIC development and advanced EDA methods.
- Collaborate with internal teams, external researchers, and product groups.
- Transfer research to product teams and contribute to prototypes, patents, or products.
- Develop experiments, run simulations, and analyze results using EDA and CAD tools.
- Document results and publish or present findings as appropriate.
Requirements
Key technical and professional qualifications.
- Research experience with publications at top conferences and/or patents.
- Programming skills such as Python, C, C++, Perl, and MATLAB; familiarity with CUDA is desirable.
- Hardware description languages: Verilog and SystemVerilog.
- Experience with EDA/CAD tool packages (examples: Cadence, Synopsys, HFSS) and ML frameworks (example: PyTorch).
- Strong communication and collaboration skills.
- Ability to produce reproducible experiments, prototypes, and technical documentation.
Nice-to-have:
- ASIC and VLSI design techniques, PLLs, SerDes, high-speed signaling, SRAM/cache design, power delivery, or hardware security.
- Experience with integrated photonics, ML accelerators, hardware/software co-design, GPU-accelerated EDA, or related EDA research areas.
Education Requirements
Must be actively enrolled in a Ph.D. program in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field for the full duration of the internship. Anticipated graduation month and year must be clearly indicated on the resume/CV.
Compensation: Intern hourly rate range stated by employer is USD 38–94; interns are eligible for intern benefits.
