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.
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. In this position, you will be a core member of our team, and will have an opportunity to grow in the company of expert technologists who also happen to be good people you’ll want to spend time with.
What We Value:

What We Do
Quadric has built a unified hardware/software architecture optimized for on-device machine learning inference. Only the Quadric GPNPU (general purpose neural processing unit) delivers high ML inference performance while also running C++ code without forcing the developer to artificially partition application code between two or three different kinds of processors. Quadric's GPNPU is a licensable processor IP core that scales from 1 to 64 TOPs and seamlessly intermixes scalar, vector and matrix code.
