Senior Emulation Engineer

Location: India - Remote

Job Description

At EnCharge AI, we are building the next generation of AI compute silicon — purpose-built

for high-performance, low-power, and scalable AI inference. As an Emulation Engineer, you

will play a critical role in validating complex AI accelerator architectures on emulation

platforms before tape-out. This position is ideal for someone passionate about bridging the

gap between hardware and software in fast-paced, deep tech environments.

Responsibilities

• Set up and maintain Siemens Veloce emulation and prototyping platforms

• Adapt SoC designs for Emulation and Prototyping

• Develop and debug emulation testbenches and system-level environments

• Support pre-silicon validation, power/performance analysis, and early software bring-up. Participate in silicon bring-up and validation.

• Collaborate with design and verification teams to isolate design issues and accelerate debug.

• Optimize performance of the emulation workloads and reduce turnaround time.

• Work with firmware/software teams to enable use of emulators for OS and driver testing.

Required Background

• BS/MS/Ph.D. in EE, CS, or related field with 7+ years of SoC design experience.

• Experience with emulation platforms (Veloce, Palladium, or ZeBu) and FPGA-based prototyping systems (proFPGA, HAPS, or Protium)

• Experience with emulating high speed I/O interfaces such as PCIe and UCIe and memory technologies such as LPDDR and HBM

• Solid understanding of digital design, RTL (Verilog/SystemVerilog), and SoC architecture.

• Proficiency in hardware debug tools, waveform viewers, and logic analyzers

• Scripting skills (e.g., Python, Tcl, Perl) for automation and infrastructure development

• Familiarity with UVM, simulation, and testbench environments. SystemVerilog and UVM-based verification experience a plus

• Hand-on software development experience with C/C++ is a plus
