We are looking for a Corporate Applications Engineer to bridge the gap between development engineering and field users at Quadric.

Quadric has created an innovative general purpose neural processing unit (GPNPU) architecture. Our co‑optimized software and hardware is aimed at running neural network inference workloads on a wide variety of edge and endpoint devices, from battery‑operated smart sensors to high‑performance automotive and autonomous‑vehicle systems. Unlike other NPUs that only accelerate part of a machine‑learning graph, the Quadric GPNPU executes both NN graph code and conventional C++ DSP and control code.

Role The Corporate Applications Engineer is the key bridge between development engineering and hands‑on users in the field. The CAE leads technical customer support initiatives in collaboration with field application engineers, business development, product, and engineering teams, and develops supporting application materials to support the use of Quadric products. This senior technical role requires exceptional technical depth, strong coding capabilities, and advanced troubleshooting skills to develop customer demos, benchmarks, and reference implementations using Quadric’s SDK. Candidates must demonstrate deep technical mastery of Quadric’s product ecosystem, including HPC hardware (IP, chips, boards), the SDK, and various algorithms (NN, DSP, vision, path planning, etc.).
