Applied Research Intern, Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC)-NVIDIA Aerial - Summer 2027
Originally posted 20 October 2026 by the employer.
About the role
NVIDIA is looking for a graduate research intern to advance integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) on NVIDIA GPU platforms. In this role, you will develop, train, and test ISAC algorithms end-to-end on the NVIDIA Aerial Testbed, combining a 5G/6G software stack with over-the-air radios.
What you'll do
- Develop, implement, and benchmark ISAC algorithms in Python on NVIDIA GPU platforms. - Build radar signal processing pipelines, including radar cube formation, range and Doppler processing, angle estimation, CFAR detection, and clutter suppression such as MTI, static clutter removal, and adaptive filtering. - Compose ML model architectures for sensing and joint sensing-communications tasks, and formulate corresponding loss functions and optimization objectives. - Train and evaluate models in PyTorch using simulated data and data captured over the air. - Integrate algorithms with the NVIDIA Aerial Testbed and run real-time, over-the-air experiments. - Detail results and contribute to publications, patents, and internal technical reports.
What you'll need
- Current enrollment in an MS or PhD program in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field. - Background in AI/ML for wireless communications. - Understanding of ISAC concepts and waveforms, such as OFDM-based sensing. - Hands-on experience implementing ISAC or radar algorithms in Python. - Hands-on experience with PyTorch or another machine learning framework like TensorFlow or JAX. - Knowledge of the signal processing aspects of ISAC, including radar cube algorithms and clutter reduction techniques.
Skills: ISAC, radar signal processing, Python, PyTorch, 5G/6G, OFDM
