We invented the GPU, and the accelerated computing it made possible now powers the world's most advanced AI, from the data center to the car. Today, NVIDIA DRIVE brings that intelligence to the road: a full-stack platform that lets vehicles perceive, reason and act in the real world. We are looking to grow our teams with the smartest people in the world, and there has never been a more exciting time to join us.\nThe Autonomous Vehicles team develops and ships NVIDIA's DRIVE software platform. Our AV Stability group owns the reliability of the full stack on real vehicles: every issue found on a test drive flows through us before it reaches the owning team. You will reproduce, investigate and help fix the problems that stand between a prototype and a product, working with sensor, perception, planning and platform teams across the globe. As AI reshapes how engineering itself is done, our team is also where that change meets the vehicle: we increasingly build intelligent tooling on top of the same expertise we use to debug the car. We have real customers and real competition, and the work is exciting, fun, and very meaningful.\nWhat you'll be doing:\nUse in-house data playback, simulation, and visualization tools to re-animate and reproduce performance issues experienced during test drives.\nCollaborate with software and algorithm experts to investigate, deduce, and isolate root causes of test drive issues, and to develop fixes and improvements.\nDesign and implement Autonomous Vehicles software, including system integration, application design, performance/power optimization, and stress/stability/compliance testing.\nDrive the reliability of the whole software system, including time sync, vehicle network, RADAR, LiDAR, and camera sensor processing, and fusion.\nHelp turn hard-won debugging expertise into tooling and automation, including AI-assisted analysis of logs and vehicle data, so that problems are found faster and recur less.\nDevelop a strong technical understanding of the stack, and proactively identify new opportunities and creative ways to solve or mitigate technical challenges.\nWhat we need to see:\nPursuing a BS or MS in CS/CE/EE/Robotics or a related field.\nDemonstrated proficiency in both C/C++ and Python: C/C++ to understand and debug the vehicle software stack, Python to build the tooling around it.\nStrong debugging instincts: you can read logs and traces, form a hypothesis, and prove or disprove it with evidence.\nAbility of using modern AI coding assistants as part of your everyday workflow, while verifying what they produce.\nFamiliar with git or other version control tooling.\nAbility and flexibility to work and communicate effectively in a multinational, multi-time-zone environment.\nSelf-motivated and a good teammate.\nWays to stand out from the crowd:\nGood knowledge of key Autonomous Driving technologies and the typical challenges of key components; prior experience in the AV field.\nWorked with CAN and related tools, RADAR, LiDAR.\nHands-on experience with LLM-based tooling: prompt and context design, tool calling, agent workflows, or evaluation of model output on a real task.\nExperience with large-scale log analysis and cloud-based workflows.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3243,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Smart Mobility","Servers & Data Center Hardware","Computer Components","AI Chips & Accelerators"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-07T18:38:54Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":41,"reasons":["conf:6","stale_co","velocity","win:early","comp:junior,brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-08T05:47:12Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/nvidia-system-software-engineer-intern-autonomous-vehicles-2027","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/nvidia-system-software-engineer-intern-autonomous-vehicles-2027.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-08T09:30:43Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":20673,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-09T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":6},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=6"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fnvidia-system-software-engineer-intern-autonomous-vehicles-2027"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fnvidia-system-software-engineer-intern-autonomous-vehicles-2027"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fnvidia-system-software-engineer-intern-autonomous-vehicles-2027"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/nvidia-system-software-engineer-intern-autonomous-vehicles-2027\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fnvidia-system-software-engineer-intern-autonomous-vehicles-2027"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3925112}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"nvidia.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3925112},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people);
