Product Marketing Manager bei quadric, Inc

Description

Quadric is an innovative licensor of semiconductor IP leading the market in the emerging category of general-purpose neural processing unit (GPNPU) processors.  We are a fast-growing Bay Area based startup having just closed our Series C funding and we are ready to significantly ramp up our public profile. If making an impact and having a seat at the table is important to you, this is the opportunity for you. Join our tight-knit, rapidly growing team at Quadric to drive our growth with a worldwide audience of semiconductor designers and AI software developers.

In this position, you will be a core member of our marketing team, driving and defining our go-to-market strategies and messaging, and you will have an opportunity to grow in the company of expert technologists who also happen to be good people you’ll want to spend time with.

The Role

As our first Product Marketing Manager, you will play a pivotal role in defining how Quadric communicates the value of its Chimera processors to the worldwide market. Working closely with the CMO, you will help define the overall go-to-market strategy, including target audience definition, messaging structure, and channel selection, while creating customer-facing materials and messaging that support customer education and effective sales engagement across key market segments. You will translate complex technical innovation into clear, compelling narratives across modern customer-facing channels including website content, webinars, product collateral, digital messaging, and sales tools.

Quadric is rapidly expanding, moving from a small number of lighthouse customers to a growing base of licensees across a range of end markets. This role will be central to amplifying Quadric’s voice in the marketplace, increasing customer understanding of our technology, and supporting market awareness and customer education as the business scales.
