Job Description
Quadric has developed an innovative general purpose neural processing unit (GPNPU) architecture. Our co-optimized software and hardware are designed to run neural network (NN) inference workloads across a variety of edge and endpoint devices, from battery-operated smart sensors to high-performance automotive and autonomous vehicle systems. Unlike other NPUs or neural network accelerators that can only accelerate parts of a machine learning graph, the Quadric GPNPU executes both NN graph code and conventional C++ DSP and control code.
If making an impact and having a seat at the table is important to you, this is the opportunity for you. Join our small, rapidly-growing team at Quadric to develop supercomputer technology designed for the Edge. As a core team member, you'll have the opportunity to grow alongside expert technologists who are also great people you’ll want to spend time with.
What We Value: Integrity, Humility, Happiness
What We Expect: Initiative, Collaboration, Completion
