Silicon Solution Intern - 2026

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Shanghai, China

Intern role focused on GPU/SOC feature bring-up, characterization, validation, tuning, and optimization. Involves system-level analysis, collaboration across hardware and software teams, and automation tool development for silicon designs. Requires strong EE fundamentals and experience in areas like low power circuits.

What you'd actually do

  1. Work proactively on GPU/SOC feature/IP bring-up and characterization including creating validation, tuning and optimization methodologies, develop proper test plan and test cases.
  2. Perform system level use case analysis/profiling and feature return-on-investment investigations, prototype and validation, design methods and control policies to bring the new technology into production and transcend product goals.
  3. Collaborate across System Architecture, DFT, ASIC, SW/FW, platform, validation, and production teams throughout the product life cycle on system-level architecture, design, productization, debugging, and deployment for complex silicon designs to improve quality, safety, and manufacturability.
  4. Design tools/script to automate product definitions, data collection, test case execution, and results analysis. Provide detailed data analysis of functionality, performance, and latency.
  5. Hands on actions on silicon bring-up, validation, and debug; Coordinate product level feature deployment to achieve high product quality at aggressive schedule.
