PhD Research Intern, Embodied and Agentic AI - 2027

About the role

NVIDIA is searching for several interns to join the Learning and Perception research team for an internship in the areas of embodied and agentic AI, such as perception, agentic reasoning, multi-modal and continual learning, AI scientists, and related topics. The team pursues research that pushes boundaries while delivering real‑world impact. Interns work within a collaborative research group with a strong record of publishing internship projects at top venues in computer vision and machine learning, guided by experienced mentors. Projects are tailored to match each intern’s expertise, and many interns choose to return for additional internships.

Responsibilities

• Research, design, and implement novel embodied and agentic AI methods.
• Work collaboratively with your mentor and a broader team of world‑class researchers to develop ideas from early hypothesis through rigorous experimentation.
• Partner with product and engineering groups to transfer research breakthroughs into real‑world applications.
• Rapidly prototype and iterate on ideas using state‑of‑the‑art hardware and infrastructure.

Requirements

• Must be pursuing a PhD in Computer Science/Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• Excellent knowledge of the theory and practice of AI, particularly in computer vision, LLMs, and agents.
• Excellent programming skills in a rapid prototyping environment such as Python or C++.
• Knowledge of common machine learning frameworks, such as PyTorch.
• Promising research track record.
• Excellent communication skills.

Skills

• Knowledge in parallel programming (e.g., CUDA) is a plus.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and a generous benefits package.
• Eligibility for intern benefits.

Pay

• The hourly rate for interns ranges from 38 USD to 94 USD, based on position, location, year in school, degree, and experience.
