RTL SoC Design Intern

Quadric is redefining edge AI with the industry's first General Purpose Neural Processing Unit (GPNPU), enabling developers to run both neural network inference and conventional C++ code on a single programmable architecture. Our technology powers intelligent edge devices across automotive, industrial, robotics, and embedded systems. Founded in 2016 and based in downtown Burlingame, California, Quadric is building the world's first supercomputer designed for the real-time needs of edge devices. Quadric aims to empower developers in every industry with superpowers to create tomorrow's technology, today. The company was co-founded by technologists from MIT and Carnegie Mellon, who were previously the technical co-founders of the Bitcoin computing company 21. THE OPPORTUNITY This is a chance to get hands-on experience building a next-generation SoC architecture from the ground floor, working directly alongside our hardware team as we bring supercomputer technology to the Edge. You'll support the SoC design team with subsystem development, third-party IP integration, and PPA (power, performance, area) optimization for Quadric's GPNPU platform — gaining exposure to real front-end design and integration methodologies, and working closely with the architects who define the chip. 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 able to relocate for the internship period and available to work on site.
