Brief Role DescriptionThis position is a career level Intern and is located in San Jose, CA role classification of Fully On Site. Please note, we are not able to consider OPT/CPT candidates - The candidate will be placed in an interdisciplinary team working towards advanced autonomous driving functions.
- The intern will focus on integrating a neural network-based software component into an existing prototype vehicle platform.
- The internship offers hands-on experience in deploying artificial intelligence-based algorithms into a real-time vehicle environment and interfacing them with vehicle sensors and software systems.
Possible Tasks within this Role- Integrate vision-language models into the prototype vehicle software stack on NVIDIA automotive compute platforms.
- Optimize model inference for real-time performance using NVIDIA deployment toolchains (for example, CUDA, TensorRT, and TensorRT for large language models).
- Implement and maintain software interfaces between the model runtime and vehicle sensors, logging, and downstream consumers.
- Develop benchmarking, testing, and validation workflows; document integration steps and performance results.
Qualification requirements- Must be a master's or Ph.D. student enrolled at a University/College or Graduation date must be within the last six months.
- Strong programming skills in C++ and/or Python.
- Experience with Linux-based development environments.
- GPU inference fundamentals (batching, precision, memory bandwidth/ latency basics)
- Understanding of and experience with integrating VLMs
- Practical experience with Hugging Face Transformers and model exports (ONNX, TRT)
- Knowledge of Nvidia deployment tools and libraries such as Cuda, TensorRT, TensorRT-LLM
- Experience with ROS or ROS2 framework is a plus.
- Experience with robotics or autonomous driving software frameworks is a plus.
