NVIDIA is searching for a System Software Engineer Intern for the development and prototyping a new class of products and appliances for our Metropolis platforms. We are developing and prototyping a new class of products and appliances that allow for integration of multiple AI IOT services at the edge and in the cloud to create Digital Twins of physical environments. These Digital Twins of cities, transportation systems, retail stores, office buildings, warehouses, etc. allow for extraction of actionable insights and simulation and scenario-planning as well as synthetic data generation for improving the models that extract insight.

Simulation using Digital Twins is critical for the optimal management and utilization of these smart spaces. It allows us to train deep learning networks at scale. It allows us to test and debug difficult to reproduce or dangerous situations safely and efficiently. It allows us to easily test under varying geographical and climatic conditions at will. With Digital Twins of Smart Environments, NVIDIA is writing a new chapter on real-time simulation. Built on our Omniverse platform and harnessing the power of RTX ray tracing, we’re revolutionizing the world of simulation, combining enterprise-grade simulation with entertainment-quality graphics. We are looking for a strong system software engineer who can leverage fundamentals of game engine, game design and development, simulation, and geospatial information to develop modular software tools and pipelines as well as assets that can help accelerate the creation of Digital Twins of physical environments.

What you’ll be doing:

• Work in an agile software development mode to develop tools and modules to generate Digital Twins from physical environments

• Take a key role in designing, implementing, and maintaining the production pipeline, tools, and workflow.

• Integrate third party SDKs into the pipeline to enhance features

• Develop pipeline to support building large scale worlds based on real world GIS information, point cloud LIDAR scans and other rich geospatial information.

• Develop tools and pipelines to enable animation and simulation of objects of interest such as people and vehicles in indoor and outdoor scenarios

• Work on complex agent-based simulation to model phenomena such as large scale movement and traffic of people and vehicles.

• Work with the internal team and external resources to deliver a complete Digital Twin

• Validate the correctness and assess the fidelity of the Digital Twin

• Create tools, features and engine components to required coding standards.

What we need to see:

• Pursuing an MS or Ph.D. degree in Computer Science or related field.

• Previous experience in game engine development, tool development, ideally 3D art content pipelines, art importers/exporters, automated content/data build systems and GUI development

• Excellence in both C++ & Python (Visual C++ or Visual .NET recommended) software development and proven experience building complex software systems.

• Prior experience in integrating third party SDKs into game engine e.g. UE4 & Unity

• Courses in game engine development and strong background in linear algebra, trigonometry and applied mathematics

• Understanding of various gaming platform limitations with regard to visual assets.

• Experience with GIS systems such as ARCGIS CityEngine, Point cloud data management and formats

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Your game engine development has resulted in AAA PC or console games released

• Background with Universal Scene Description (USD)

• Experience with CUDA programming

• Background with Building Information Management tools

• Experience developing GIS tools

• Background in developing city-scale simulations using agent-based modeling or traffic simulators like SUMO
