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.

Role:

The AI Applications Engineer is the key bridge between development engineering and hands-on users in the field. The AI Application Engineer will [1] integrate Quadric product and software stack into AI/LLM frameworks and ecosystem; [2] develop AI applications based on Quadric products; [3] lead technical customer/developer support initiatives in collaboration with field application engineers, Business Development, Product, and Engineering teams; and [4] develop technical materials to support the use of Quadric product. This position requires exceptional technical depth, strong coding capabilities, and advanced troubleshooting skills to develop AI applications, benchmarks, and reference implementations using Quadric's SDK. This senior technical role demands expertise in system architecture, AI frameworks, algorithm optimization, and the ability to provide technical leadership across global FAE teams. Candidates must demonstrate deep technical mastery of Quadric's product ecosystem including HPC Hardware (IP, Chips, Boards), SDK, and various algorithms (NN, DSP, Vision, Path Planning, etc.).

Responsibilities:
