• Evaluate the use of general-purpose GPU programming to reduce solution time for existing algorithms while maintaining numerical accuracy
• Implement programs that fit the general-purpose GPU programming paradigm
• Participate in team meetings and practice an Agile development mindset throughout the software development lifecycle

Minimum Qualifications

• Enrolled as a full-time student pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's program in Computer Science, Engineering, Science, Math, or a similar field at an accredited university in Australia
• Completed coursework or projects using C++ or a similar programming language
• Programming experience in a Windows, Mac OS, or Linux environment
• Knowledge of computer science subjects, especially object-oriented programming, data structures, and parallel programming
• Ability to work effectively in a team environment
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Expected to complete your degree by the end of 2026 and looking to gain professional experience to start a career in software development
• Internship Period: January – December 2026 (12 months, full-time)

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building applications involving parallel programming or general-purpose GPU programming
• Familiarity with programming models for general computing on GPUs, such as CUDA, OpenCL, or HIP

Learning Benefits

• Gain experience with Agile (scrum) software development lifecycle through daily work
• Gain exposure to parallel programming and numerical simulation
• Acquire hands-on experience in software development and validation of accuracy
• Work in a collaborative environment with a high-performing team
• Hone coding, problem-solving, and communication skills
