Deep Learning Compiler Engineer

quadric, Inc

1d • $110,000 - $270,000 • Onsite

About The Position

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.

As a senior member of our platform software engineering team, you will be tasked with lowering and optimizing neural networks on the quadric EPU. You will design and implement algorithmic optimizations to extract maximum performance out of the Quadric architecture.

Requirements

• MS or Ph.D. in Computer Science, or related field, with a minimum of eight years of experience in the industry
• Strong background in numerical and/or algorithmic optimization
• Understanding of building application-appropriate heuristics for NP-hard problems
• Knowledge of both classical as well as ML algorithms, e.g., Computer Vision, DSP, DNNs, etc.
• Strong background in graphs and related algorithms

Nice To Haves

• Proficiency in C++ >= 11
• Experience using / developing in TVM
• Knowledge of front-end and back-end compiler techniques

Responsibilities

• Drive the lowering and optimization of cutting edge deep neural networks using Quadric’s technology
• Apply your skills and expertise in mathematical & algorithmic optimization toward solving NP-hard problems
• Collaborate within the software team to develop algorithms that optimize graph-based execution on the Quadric architecture
• Develop a deep understanding of the hardware platform and low level software and leverage that for optimal performance of applications.
• Have a proven track record of implementing optimization passes for efficient lowering of deep learning and high performance computing algorithms on the Quadric EPU parallel processor.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and meaningful equity
• Medical, dental, and vision plan options starting on day one
• 401(k) retirement plan
• Flexible paid time off (unlimited, non-accrual) to support work-life balance
• When working in-office, enjoy company-provided lunches and a stocked kitchen
• Support for commuting, including monthly parking or Caltrain passes
• A politics-free, highly collaborative environment where talented people can do their best work and make an immediate impact
• The opportunity to build long-term career relationships in a company that values strong personal connections alongside professional excellence
