EnCharge AI is looking for a highly experienced, hands-on Principal Solutions Engineer to lead customer and partner solution development for our next-generation AI acceleration platform.

This is a senior technical role for an engineer who can bridge the gap between AI hardware, software, systems, and customers. You will own strategic customer programs from initial technical engagement and proof-of-concept through optimization and deployment, working directly with customers and ecosystem partners to turn complex AI workloads into high-performance solutions on EnCharge technology.

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end solution design, performance benchmarking, and system-level tuning for key verticals on EnCharge platforms.
• Provide hands-on technical engagement with customers and software partners from PoC through deployment, optimizing application performance, latency, and power efficiency to drive winning proof points.
• Support technical pre-sales efforts by clearly articulating solution value propositions, architectural differentiators, and performance benchmarks.
• Develop reference applications, demonstrations, customer evaluation platforms, and enablement collateral (user guides, tutorials, case studies).
• Proactively identify and onboard strategic partners, mapping value chains to co-develop AI solutions that expand market reach and accelerate time-to-market.
• Partner with ODMs on complete system designs and collaborate with ISVs to deliver documentation and reference designs that empower the ecosystem.
• Serve as the voice of the customer, directly influencing the product roadmap, software features, and developer experience.

• Master’s or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field preferred.
• 8+ years of experience in solutions engineering and partner enablement within the semiconductor or AI industry.
• Proven track record of bringing complex hardware products to market and driving adoption through software and end-to-end solution integration.
• Experience developing AI solutions for edge, datacenter, or embedded applications.
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.
• Strong leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills.
• Strong understanding of AI workloads and optimization, SoC architectures, software stacks, and system integration.
• Hands-on experience with AI/ML frameworks, AI inference optimization, and model deployment.
• Experience in system and application software development and AI pipeline frameworks.
• Experience with embedded Linux systems and AI accelerators is preferred.

The salary range for this position is $200,000 to $250,000 USD per year. Actual compensation offered will be determined based on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
