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.

Note: Our preference is for this internship to be based out of our Burlingame, California office. Candidates should be based in the Bay Area or be able to relocate for the internship period and available to work on site.

Requirements

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• Familiarity with verification methodologies for CPU or GPU designs.
• Proficient in either SystemVerilog, SystemC or C/C++. UVM is a plus.
• Prepared to collaborate with architects and designers to document test plans, write and debug tests, and generate coverage.
• Demonstrated capability in problem‑solving, debugging, and clear technical communication.

Preferred

• Coursework or project experience with Computer Architecture, RTL Design, ML systems, or performance engineering.
• Exposure to assembly or low‑level code generation.
• Adept with scripting languages like Python and using LLMs to get things done.

Benefits

At Quadric, we value Integrity, Humility, and Happiness. What we expect from one another is simple and clear: Initiative, Collaboration, and Completion. We are a collaborative team focused on building something extraordinary in the edge computing space.

The hourly rate for this temporary internship position is $45.00/hour to $60.00/hour. The actual rate offered will depend on a number of factors, including the specific level of the role, years and depth of relevant experience and education, technical skills and competencies, and work location.

Quadric interns receive hands‑on experience working alongside industry experts in AI and semiconductor technology, with access to mentorship and meaningful project ownership from day one.
