Director of Software

Quadric has created an innovative general purpose neural processing unit (GPNPU) architecture. Quadric's co-optimized software and hardware is targeted to run neural network (NN) inference workloads in a wide variety of edge and endpoint devices, ranging from battery operated smart-sensor systems to high-performance automotive or autonomous vehicle systems. Unlike other NPUs or neural network accelerators in the industry today that can only accelerate a portion of a machine learning graph, the Quadric GPNPU executes both NN graph code and conventional C++ DSP and control code.

What We Value :

Integrity, Humility, Happiness

What We Expect :

Initiative, Collaboration, Completion

Role :

Reporting directly to the VP, Engineering, you will own the entire software team and will be responsible for execution on Quadric's Chimera SDK ( https : / / quadric.io / sdk / ). Join us in our shared vision of shipping world class model optimization and compilers for AI inference where it matters most—on the factory floor, in the vehicle, across consumer devices and enterprise.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end delivery of the software stack :   SDK ,  graph compiler ,  kernel libraries , and developer tooling.
• Set technical direction and a multi-release roadmap for compiler, kernels, and SDK; align with silicon, architecture.
• Own the inference optimization stack (Quantization ->

Compile ->

Accelerated Performance) on Chimera architecture for Vision Models, LLMs, VLMs etc.

Requirements

Benefits

Founded in 2016 and based in downtown Burlingame, California, Quadric is building the world’s first supercomputer designed for the real-time needs of edge devices. Quadric aims to empower developers in every industry with superpowers to create tomorrow’s technology, today. The company was co-founded by technologists from MIT and Carnegie Mellon, who were previously the technical co-founders of the Bitcoin computing company 21.
