Field Application Engineer (Machine Learning)

Overview 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 The Field Application Engineer (FAE) will work closely with Sales, Marketing, Product, and Engineering teams to provide pre-sales (and some post-sales) technical customer support. This position requires excellent customer communication and troubleshooting skills to conduct remote and on-site training and product presentations. This position is a technical position that will require additional skills such as system debugging, coding, scripting. Candidates are expected to work independently and acquire expert-level skills with the in-house built product line including HPC Hardware (IP, Chips, Boards), SDK, Algorithms (NN, DSP, Vision, Path Planning, etc.). Responsibilities Work with Sales to position and sell the Quadric products Defend to customers the unique Quadric architecture and its advantages compared to all other edge AI IP solutions Work with customers during evaluations to install the SDK and algorithms and analyze customer systems to determine the best HW/SW solutions for their system Analyze technological problems brought in by customers and communicate with engineering for the best solution Set up regular technical discussions with customers to help them understand Quadric deliverables, and resolve customer issues with engineering support as well as conducting regular follow-up and monitoring Deliver periodic training sessions Coordinate with the Sales and Engineering teams in formulating the product specifications according to the customer's needs Conduct project feasibility studies Some travel required (Internationally to U.S. California headquarters occasionally for training, and within the region as necessary) Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Electronics Engineering and/or Computer Science field and 5+ years experience in engineering Minimum 3+ years experience working directly with customers in support of Sales or Business Development activities Must be able to demonstrate basic knowledge of software perception systems, and/or Computer Vision Fluent in Chinese & English Proficiency in Python Experience describing, building, running and deploying Docker containers Experience with Linux or Unix based operating systems Experience with at least one of the following neural network/machine learning frameworks: PyTorch, Tensorflow, Tensorflow-Lite Experience quantizing, running and debugging neural networks with ONNX runtime a plus Experience selling/supporting semiconductor intellectual property (IP) a plus Experience supporting parallel C / C++ languages a plus (CUDA, OpenVX, NEON, etc.) Solid understanding of intermediate git concepts such as branching, rebasing, merge conflict resolution, etc. Solid understanding of semiconductor development process (RTL, GDS, ASIC, etc.) Ability to methodically debug problems, relay information to the engineering team, and test and deploy system updates and upgrades Benefits Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision) Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays) Family Leave (Maternity, Paternity) Training & Development Work From Home Stock Option Plan #J-18808-Ljbffr quadric.io, Inc
