About the role
Quadric has created an innovative General-Purpose Neural Processing Unit (GPNPU) architecture. As a member of our Systems Team , you will be responsible for the foundational software layers—drivers, debuggers, assemblers, and simulators—that bridge our high-level SDK with custom hardware.
What they're looking for
- 5 years+ experience in building systems software: simulators, toolchains, debuggers, drivers, or performance critical C++ libraries
- Deep comfort with modern C++ (C++17/20) and systems-level programming paradigms
- Advanced understanding of RAII, manual memory management, object lifetimes, ownership models, and memory access optimization
- Ability to identify, design, and maintain clean abstraction layers that result in readable, maintainable, and scalable code
- A proactive, adaptable attitude toward tackling the unique challenges of a brand-new processor architecture
- Boundary Experience: Demonstrated track record tackling complexity at the boundary of hardware and software across one or more of the following:
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. 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.
