Full-Stack Software Engineer

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 Full-Stack Engineer is key to making the Quadric product and toolchain easily accessible and usable via a webplatform (also known as "DevStudio"). The Full-Stack Engineer will [1] implement new features for the webplatform in collaboration with Business Development, Product, and other Engineering teams; and [2] help debug and fix issues in the webplatform and relay toolchain issue to the appropriate Engineering team. This position requires exceptional technical depth, strong coding capabilities, and advanced troubleshooting skills to succesfuly build the webplaform around Quadric's toolchain and Product requirements. Candidates must demonstrate strong technical mastery of advanced concepts for building and operating complex systems including distributed services, failure recovery and proper system telemetry and observability techniques.

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.
