Data Scientist - Model Optimization

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:
You will be joining the data science team focused on model optimization for Quadric's custom GPNPU architecture. You will research, prototype, and implement novel quantization algorithms tailored to our hardware constraints. Beyond applying existing techniques, you'll develop custom low-precision methods that maximize performance on the Chimera GPNPU. Your work will directly shape the quantizati...
