Head of Marketing
About The Position
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 by technologists from MIT and Carnegie Mellon, Quadric is a well-funded growth-stage semiconductor IP company with marquee customers including Denso, Kyocera, and Hitachi, and a growing licensing business. As we enter our next phase of growth, we're looking for our first true marketing leader to build and scale the function. This is a rare opportunity to build a marketing organization from the ground up while reporting directly to the CEO. You'll own the entire marketing strategy, from brand and product marketing to demand generation, PR, developer marketing, and events. You'll define how Quadric tells its story to semiconductor companies, automotive OEMs, developers, partners, analysts, and investors while building the systems, team, and programs that support long-term growth. If you enjoy creating structure from scratch, partnering closely with technical leaders, and shaping the narrative for an emerging AI category, this role offers significant ownership and impact.
