Research Intern - AI-Aided Engineering (AIE)

NVIDIA Research is seeking research interns to join the AI-Aided Engineering (AIE) team. The team develops novel AI methods for physical simulation and engineering design, focusing on neural operators, geometric representations, and large-scale learning.

You will work with experienced mentors on research that advances the field and has real-world impact. Internship projects are tailored to match interns' expertise, with opportunities to publish at leading conferences and journals.

Responsibilities:

• Research, design, and implement novel AI methods for physical simulation and engineering design.
• Work collaboratively with your team, mentor, and other researchers.
• Collaborate with product groups to transfer research into practical applications.

Requirements:

• Pursuing a PhD in Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, or a related field.
• Strong research track record and the ability to develop and evaluate new ideas.
• Excellent Python programming skills and experience with PyTorch or a comparable framework.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work independently and collaboratively.
• Strong expertise in at least one of the following:
• Physical simulation and engineering: Deep expertise in areas such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD), including running numerical solvers and analyzing simulation results, or CAD/NURBS-based geometric modeling and geometry processing.
• Large-scale deep learning model training: A proven track record training large language models, vision transformers, or other large-scale neural networks.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with geometry encoding and learning from meshes, point clouds, or CAD is a strong plus.
• Experience developing agentic AI systems, particularly for tool use, automated experimentation, or scientific and engineering workflows.

NVIDIA offers highly competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package. The hourly rate for interns is $38 - $94 USD.

Applications for this job will be accepted at least until October 11, 2026.
