NVIDIA was one of the sponsors of the 50th anniversary celebration of WICSE - Berkeley’s organization for Women in Computer Science and Engineering - of which Matl is a member. While she was aware of NVIDIA’s Robotics Lab from the company’s presentations at various conferences, it never occurred to her that she could intern here until a fortuitous twist of fate. I thought, ‘I would love to keep doing this sort of work in the future.’”īut Matl’s internship at NVIDIA was luck of the draw - literally. Matl says, on the experience of combining hardware and software knowledge, “It was an aha moment for me. One of her major’s core requirements was “Building Real Systems,” a class in which students built self-driving miniature cars. Matl discovered her passion for robotics while pursuing a B.S.E.

candidate at the University of California, Berkeley, Carolyn Matl is interning in NVIDIA’s Robotics Lab in Seattle. Here are a few of the interns who made a difference at NVIDIA this summer. They also get to take part in NVIDIA-sponsored volunteer events, including sorting food at Second Harvest Food Bank, preparing dental kits for local children and helping out at the Tech Museum in Silicon Valley. When they’re not on the job, interns are treated to a host of opportunities, such as exclusive talks with senior NVIDIA executives and researchers, tickets to events at Avaya Stadium and free NVIDIA SHIELD TVs. Representing 120 schools and universities, these interns are working in teams as wide-ranging as machine learning, autonomous vehicles and robotics. This year, more than 700 interns have joined NVIDIA across 30 global locations, most during the summer. Unless it involves building vehicles to make those runs autonomously.

There are no coffee runs in sight for NVIDIA interns.
