AI Inference Engineer at Quadric, Inc

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 deploymentPort models to Quadric platform using Quadric toolchainOptimize inference deployment for latency, speedBenchmark and profile model performance and accuracyDevelop tools to scale and speed up the deploymentMake Improvement to SDK and runtimeProvide 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/toolsexperience with model quantization (PTQ, QAT) and toolsexperience with model accuracy measuresexperience with model inference performance profilingexperience with at least one of the following frameworks: onnxruntime, Pytorch, vLLM, huggingface-transformer, neural-compressor, llamacppProficiency in C/C++ and PythonDemonstrate 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 DisabilityTraining & DevelopmentWork From HomeFree Food & SnacksStock Option Plan
