Job summary

Quadric, based in Burlingame, CA, is redefining edge AI with a GPNPU. As part of the Systems Team, you’ll own foundational software layers—drivers, debuggers, assemblers, and simulators bridging our SDK with hardware.

You’ll work closely with hardware and software engineers to ensure ultra-high-performance, with opportunities to influence future hardware and software specs. A strong background in systems software and C++ is essential.

Qualifications

• 5+ years experience in building systems software: simulators, toolchains, debuggers, drivers, or performance critical C++ libraries.
• Deep comfort with modern C++ (C++17/20) and systems-level programming paradigms.
• Advanced understanding of RAII, manual memory management, object lifetimes, ownership models, and memory access optimization.
• Ability to identify, design, and maintain clean abstraction layers that result in readable, maintainable code.
• Experience at the boundary of hardware and software across architectural simulation, debugger backends, developer APIs, or low-level toolchains.

Responsibilities

• Foundational Toolchain & Simulator Development
• Loader & Assembler: design low-level toolchain for efficient translation and ELF loading.
