Description
Quadric delivers its GPNPU as soft IP — RTL and implementation collateral — enabling customers to integrate our processor into their own SoCs across a range of process nodes and foundries. You will drive PPA optimization across IP configurations, build the scalable reference flows customers use to evaluate and integrate our IP, and provide hands-on implementation support to customers working toward their tapeouts.

Responsibilities
PPA Optimization & Analysis
- Drive PPA analysis and optimization for Quadric GPNPU soft IP across process nodes and hardware configurations — timing, area, leakage, and dynamic power
- Apply low-power techniques (clock gating, multi-Vt, operand isolation) and synthesis/P&R; knobs to hit frequency and area targets
- Characterize the IP design space across configurations and build PPA models that support customer evaluations and pre-sales engagements
- Partner with RTL and architecture teams early to quantify tradeoffs and influence design decisions before they become costly to reverse

Reference Flow Development




- Build and maintain a scalable RTL-to-GDS reference flow for Quadric soft IP that customers can use to evaluate, integrate, and close PPA in their own SoC environment
- Ensure the flow is portable across supported process nodes with clear BKMs, SDC templates, floorplan scripts, and integration guidelines
- Develop TCL and Python automation — and leverage AI coding tools such as Claude — to accelerate flow development, reduce manual effort, and improve repeatability
- Qualify EDA tool updates and benchmark QoR impact before rolling into the reference flow

Customer Integration & Tapeout Support
- Act as the primary PD contact for customers integrating Quadric soft IP, guiding them from evaluation through their SoC tapeout
- Help customers adapt the reference flow to their process node, foundry PDK, and internal design workplace
- Triage and resolve customer-reported implementation issues — timing, congestion, power, o
