NVIDIA

Software Engineering Intern, Physics Simulation - 2026

Switzerland, Zurich Full time

Join our Physics Simulation Team at NVIDIA! We are excited to offer an outstanding opportunity for a highly motivated intern to join our team working on  simulation technology for Physical AI. You will be working hand-in-hand with our physics and robotics software engineers on next-generation simulation features and/or their integration into our robotics software stacks. The internship project will be determined by matching the candidate’s skills with our team’s development priorities.

What You Will Be Doing:

  • Collaborate with lead robotics and simulation engineers to develop a new feature or integration prototype

  • Test and validate the prototype in experiments using our robotics software stacks and/or robotic hardware

  • Work in a large code base in a team of senior engineers

What We Need to See:

  • You are pursuing an MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, Physics or related field

  • Proficient analytical abilities, especially in analysis, linear algebra, numerical algorithms, and physics

  • Advanced skills in Python and C++ programming, ideally with experience using AI-assisted development tools

  • The ability to independently and efficiently debug code

  • Solid foundation in software engineering best practices

  • The capability for self-directed work and persistence when faced with complex problems

Ways to Stand Out From The Crowd:

  • In-depth knowledge of physics engines like PhysX, MuJoCo, or Newton

  • Hands-on experience with robotic manipulation and deep learning techniques for robotics

  • Experience with NVIDIA’s robotics software stack, such as Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab

  • Familiarity with NVIDIA Warp and CUDA programming
