Your silicon. Your models. Your roadmap. Flexible AI accelerator IP that is powering the next generation of AI chips. Backed by Pear VC.
About the role
Quadric has created an innovative General-Purpose Neural Processing Unit (GPNPU) architecture—the Chimera GPNPU—which executes both neural network inference workloads and conventional C++ DSP code on edge and endpoint devices. As the Senior Product Manager, Hardware , you will own the Chimera GPNPU IP roadmap across five strategic tracks: Compute, Efficiency, Scalability, Safety, and Integration.
What they're looking for
- 5–8 years of Product Management experience focused on hardware or silicon products, with a senior IC background
- Direct experience in at least two of the following: NPU/AI accelerator architecture, SoC integration, DSP/vector compute, automotive silicon, or semiconductor IP licensing
- Proven experience leading technical architecture reviews with sophisticated buyers (Tier-1 automotive, OEM SoC teams)
- Active adoption of agentic AI tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, or equivalent) in daily workflows
- EE/CE/CS engineering degree (or equivalent depth), based in or willing to relocate to the Bay Area (Burlingame hybrid model), and willing to travel quarterly (domestic and international)
More about this role
Quadric is redefining edge AI with the industry's first General Purpose Neural Processing Unit (GPNPU), enabling developers to run both neural network inference and conventional C++ code on a single programmable architecture. Our technology powers intelligent edge devices across automotive, industrial, robotics, and embedded systems.
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.
