Quantum Computing Software Intern 🎓

The NVIDIA Math Libraries team is seeking interns in the area of quantum computing software development. We have extended NVIDIA's accelerated computing platform that has revolutionized HPC and AI, with the cuQuantum SDK. This exciting product helps researchers and framework builders in Quantum Computing (QC) tackle larger problems faster and increase the pace of innovation.

During this internship you will work closely with engineering and research teams across NVIDIA to help design, develop, and optimize software to accelerate different elements of QC workflows. Ideal candidates will have a curiosity about developing proof-of-concept implementations quickly and a willingness to iterate on those. Are you passionate about groundbreaking technology? If so, we would love to learn more about you!

What you'll be doing:

• Assist with software engineering activities around proof-of-concept development of creative and innovative algorithms.

• Collaborate with team members and specialists from other teams to understand software use cases and requirements

• Help productize new functionality through design, development, debugging, testing, and documentation under the mentorship of senior engineers on your team

• Analyze the performance of GPU or CPU implementations and find opportunities for algorithmic or implementation improvements

• Present your results and findings throughout your internship

What we need to see:

• Pursuing a M.S. or Ph.D. degree in Computer Science, Applied Math, Physics, or other related science or engineering field

• Experience with quantum algorithms, programming systems, or hybrid classical/quantum computations

• Strong software development skills with C++ and Python

• Strong fundamentals in algorithms and numerical methods, particularly linear algebra

• Good teamwork, communication, and documentation skills

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Experience with Tensor Networks or State Vector or Quantum Error Correction methods for Quantum Circuit Simulations

• Parallel programming experience using multi-threading

• CUDA C++ programming experience

NVIDIA offers highly competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package. We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us to provide capabilities which could not be imagined even a few years ago. If you're creative and love building the next generation of technologies that will be used throughout the world and have a real passion for technology, we want to hear from you.

Our internship hourly rates are a standard pay based on the position, your location, year in school, degree, and experience. The hourly rate for our interns is 20 USD - 71 USD.

You will also be eligible for Intern benefits. ​
