What is the difference between New Grad Quant vs Quant Analyst?

AspectNew Grad QuantQuant Analyst
Required CredentialsDegree in Math, Finance, or Computer Science; internships preferredAdvanced degree often preferred; experience in modeling and programming
Work EnvironmentEntry-level, training-focused, collaborative teamsMore independent, project-driven, client-facing
Employer & Industry UsageFinancial firms, hedge funds, banksSame as New Grad Quant, with increased responsibilities

The main difference between a New Grad Quant and a Quant Analyst lies in experience and responsibility. New Grad Quants are entry-level, focusing on learning and supporting teams, while Quant Analysts have more experience, handling complex models and client interactions. Both roles require strong quantitative skills, but the Quant Analyst role typically demands a deeper understanding and proven track record.

What are some typical challenges new graduate quants face when transitioning from academia to a professional finance environment?

New graduate quants often encounter challenges such as adapting to the fast-paced nature of financial markets, learning to apply theoretical knowledge to real-time problems, and navigating large codebases or proprietary platforms. Collaboration is key, as quants frequently work in cross-functional teams with traders, developers, and risk managers, requiring strong communication skills. Additionally, new grads must prioritize continuous learning to keep up with evolving models and technologies, while managing deadlines and performance expectations.

What is a New Grad Quant?

A New Grad Quant, short for 'Quantitative Analyst,' is an entry-level position for recent graduates in finance, mathematics, computer science, or related fields. These professionals use mathematical models, statistical techniques, and programming skills to analyze financial data and develop trading strategies. New Grad Quants typically work at investment banks, hedge funds, or financial technology firms, where they support senior quants in research, risk management, and portfolio optimization. The role often involves a steep learning curve and requires strong analytical thinking and problem-solving abilities.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a New Grad Quant, and why are they important?

To thrive as a New Grad Quant, you need a strong background in mathematics, statistics, and programming, typically supported by a degree in quantitative fields such as mathematics, physics, engineering, or computer science. Proficiency with tools like Python, R, MATLAB, and familiarity with data analysis libraries or financial modeling systems is expected. Analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for collaborating with teams and interpreting complex data. These competencies enable new quants to develop robust models, contribute valuable insights, and adapt quickly in the fast-paced finance industry.

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 in a full-time role focused on model optimization for Quadric's custom GPNPU architecture. You will own quantization work for production models, extend our quantization library, and build the numerical accuracy testing and debugging infrastructure that the team relies on day to day.
Responsibilities:
  • Develop and deploy quantization workflows for vision and language models, taking models from FP32 reference to deployable low-precision implementations that meet accuracy targets.
  • Investigate per-layer numerical error, identify accuracy regressions, and propose calibration, PTQ, or QAT strategies to recover lost accuracy.
  • Extend Quadric's quantization library with new operators, observers, and algorithms.
  • Build and maintain numerical accuracy testing infrastructure and debug tooling for neural networks running on the GPNPU.
  • Collaborate with graph compiler, kernel, and hardware teams to co-design solutions that exploit the GPNPU's numerical capabilities.

Requirements
  • B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in CS, EE, Applied Math, or a related field, completed within the last year.
  • Strong Python skills and fluency with PyTorch (or TensorFlow), NumPy, and data-viz tools (Matplotlib/Plotly).
  • Solid machine learning foundations; working knowledge of CNNs and Transformers.
  • Interest in quantization, numerical representation, fixed-point arithmetic, or low-level performance.
  • Ability to read research papers, evaluate the core ideas, and reproduce key results.
  • Bonus: hands-on experience with quantization or model compression, or any of PyTorch FX/PTQ/QAT, TF-Lite, ONNX-Runtime, TVM, or MLIR Quant.
  • Bonus: experience with embedded systems, DSPs, GPUs, or other accelerators.
  • Bonus: published research, open-source contributions, or coursework projects in model optimization, efficient ML, or systems for ML.

Benefits
At Quadric, we value Integrity, Humility, and Happiness. What we expect from one another is simple and clear: Initiative, Collaboration, and Completion. We are a collaborative team focused on building something extraordinary in the edge computing space.
  • Competitive salary and meaningful equity
  • Medical, dental, and vision plan options starting on day one
  • 401(k) retirement plan
  • Flexible paid time off (unlimited, non-accrual) to support work-life balance
  • When working in-office, enjoy company-provided lunches and a stocked kitchen
  • Convenient office location within walking distance of the Caltrain station
  • Support for commuting, including monthly parking or Caltrain passes
  • Downtown Burlingame office location, close to shops, cafes, and local amenities
  • A politics-free, highly collaborative environment where talented people can do their best work and make an immediate impact
  • The opportunity to build long-term career relationships in a company that values strong personal connections alongside professional excellence

The base salary range for this position is $120,000 -$160,000. This range reflects the full span of levels and geographies at which Quadric hires for this role. The actual base salary offered will depend on a number of factors, including the specific level of the role, years and depth of relevant experience, technical skills and competencies, the criticality of the role to the business, internal equity, and work location. In addition to base salary, this role is eligible for equity and a discretionary annual performance bonus as applicable to the role and level.
Quadric also offers the generous benefits package outlined above and other programs designed to support your health and wellbeing.
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.
Quadric is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where people from all backgrounds can do their best work. We consider all qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic under applicable law.
If this role resonates with you, we encourage you to apply even if your experience does not perfectly match every qualification. We value potential, curiosity, and a willingness to learn just as much as direct experience. Skills and growth come in many forms, and we would love to hear your story.
