Vacancy checked 5 October 2026. NVIDIA is accepting applications for its 2027 hardware ASIC design internship recruitment pool. The advertised US opportunity covers several hardware disciplines; a recruiter matches candidates with suitable teams, so applying does not guarantee a placement.
Who can apply?
Applicants must remain enrolled in a bachelor’s, master’s or PhD programme throughout the internship, studying electrical engineering, computer engineering or a related field. Include your expected graduation month and year on your CV. The listing describes a full-time placement lasting at least 12 weeks.
Technical work and pay
Depending on the team, work can involve digital design, RTL, verification, physical design, timing analysis or computer architecture. Relevant tools and languages vary: the advert mentions areas including Verilog, VHDL, UVM, C, Python and Linux. This is a hardware pathway, distinct from general software-engineering internships.
The advertised US hourly range is $20–$71, with the actual rate depending on the position, location, degree and experience. Intern benefits are available. The listing includes Santa Clara, California; check the location attached to any team-specific offer.
How to apply
Read NVIDIA’s official hardware internship listing, JR2023486 and follow its application link. Applications are reviewed on an ongoing basis; no fixed closing date is stated here.
Choose evidence that shows your engineering process
For an application, a small, well-explained hardware project is useful evidence. Describe the specification, your own contribution, the verification approach and a bug or design trade-off you resolved. Distinguish simulation results from measurements on physical hardware.
If a project was shared, identify the part you personally designed or tested. Mention relevant coursework only when you can connect it to practical work. Before submitting, check that your enrolment dates cover the entire proposed placement and that your availability meets the team’s requirements. These are editorial preparation suggestions, not extra NVIDIA selection rules.
