Full 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. ** Role: ** You will join the data science team for internship focused on model optimization for Quadric's custom GPNPU architecture. Working alongside a senior data scientist mentor, you will contribute to quantization library and/or numerical accuracy testing/debugging infrastructure. **Responsibilities:** * Run and contribute to new quantization workflows on vision and language models under mentor guidance. * Build calibration datasets and tooling to visualize per-layer error and distribution statistics for debugging. * Contribute to numerical accuracy testing infrastructure, numerical validation debug tooling of neural networks, and quantization library. **Requirements** * Currently pursuing or recently graduated with a B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in CS, EE, Applied Math, or a related field. * Solid Python skills and comfort with PyTorch (or TensorFlow), NumPy, and basic data-viz tools (Matplotlib/Plotly). * Coursework or project experience in machine learning; familiarity with CNNs and/or Transformers. * Curiosity about quantization, numerical representation, fixed-point arithmetic, or low-level performance. * Ability to read a research paper and discuss the core ideas. * Bonus: prior exposure to quantization, model compression, or any of PyTorch FX/PTQ/QAT, TF-Lite, ONNX-Runtime, TVM, or MLIR Quant. * Bonus: any hands-on experience with embedded systems, DSPs, GPUs, or other accelerators. **Ben
