NVIDIA's invention of the GPU in 1999 fueled 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 most inquisitive people in the world. Would you like to join us at the forefront of technological advancement? We are now looking for a Photonic Design Engineer Intern . We are part of the global circuits team at NVIDIA that design the state-of-the-art GPUs for all applications such as supercomputers, gaming consoles and self-driving cars. Come join us in our mission to Engineer the next generation of best-in-class products. Our team’s focus is on architecture and design of CMOS and Silicon-Photonics high-speed chip interfaces (NVLink, IEEE, PCIE, USB, OIF) and other complex photonic functions. What you will be doing: Work on the development of novel integrated photonic devices for high-speed optical interconnect and sensing applications. Conduct chip layout circuit design, circuit checking, and device evaluation and characterization. Perform prototype construction and checkout. Develop measurement methodology and apparatus to test and characterize the fabricated devices and perform experiments to demonstrate their ability in various potential applications. Respond to customer/client requests or events as they occur. If you have a strong ability to learn and explore new technologies and able to demonstrate good analysis and analytical skills, this is the ideal position for you.
