Full job description

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 Inference Engineer in Quadric is the key bridge between the world of AI/LLM models and Quadric unique platforms. The AI Inference Engineer at Quadric will [1] port AI models to Quadric platform; [2] optimize the model deployment for efficient inference; [3] profile and benchmark the model performance. This senior technical role demands deep knowledge of AI model algorithms, system architecture and AI toolchains/frameworks.

Responsibilities:

  • Quantize, prune and convert models for deployment
  • Port models to Quadric platform using Quadric toolchain
  • Optimize inference deployment for latency, speed
  • Benchmark and profile model performance and accuracy
  • Develop tools to scale and speed up the deployment
  • Make Improvement to SDK and runtime
  • Provide technical support and documents to customers and developer community

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science and/or Electric Engineering.

  • 5+ years of experience in AI/LLM model inference and deployment frameworks/tools

  • experience with model quantization (PTQ, QAT) and tools

  • experience with model accuracy measures

  • experience with model inference performance profiling

  • experience with at least one of the following frameworks: onnxruntime, Pytorch, vLLM, huggingface-transformer, neural-compressor, llamacpp

  • Proficiency in C/C++ and Python

  • Demonstrate good capability in problem solving, debug and communication

  • Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)

  • Retirement Plan (401k, IRA)

  • Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D)

  • Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays)

  • Family Leave (Maternity, Paternity)

  • Short Term & Long Term Disability

  • Training & Development

  • Work From Home

  • Free Food & Snacks
