We are building Physics AI for hardware design. Our software platform helps hardware designers and physics simulation engineers explore, analyze, and optimize hardware systems, leveraging cutting-edge AI to deliver ultrafast, accurate physics intelligence within the realities of engineering design workflows.
Our first product bridges the gap between the accuracy & determinism of traditional simulation and the speed & scaling of AI, and is redefining how the world’s most advanced semiconductors are designed, verified, built, brought to market and integrated in complex systems.
As a pivotal leader within our European Forward Deployment team, you will drive the adoption of Vinci’s platform among the region's top engineering organizations. In this strategic role, you will build, mentor, and guide a high-performing team of thermal engineers dedicated to engaging prospective customers and demonstrating the transformative value of our software.
By acting as trusted technical advisors, you and your team will utilize deep simulation expertise to help enterprise customers validate and optimize complex, real-world designs. Through these collaborative engagements, you will champion Vinci's value proposition—showcasing how our platform delivers systemic improvements in thermal performance, product reliability, and accelerated time-to-market.
Leveraging strong fundamentals in thermal physics and cooling strategies, you will guide analyses of complex thermal management systems, fluid flow dynamics, and heat dissipation challenges. This includes both steady-state and transient thermal behavior. Your team will help customers evaluate critical factors such as thermal risk, component reliability, power density, and cooling efficiency to architect cutting-edge thermal management systems for next-generation hardware.
You will work closely with customer engineering teams to understand their technical challenges, provide expert guidance, and clearly articulate Vinci’s capabilities in solving real-world problems. Additionally, you will serve as a key feedback channel to product and engineering teams, translating customer insights into actionable inputs that shape product direction and drive continuous improvement.
This is a remote role, with close collaboration with Sales, Product, and Engineering in Palo Alto, CA, USA. The role includes moderate travel, primarily within continental Europe. Some infrequent intercontinental travel may be required for discussions and collaboration with the US team..
Vinci is a frontier lab building the foundation model for the physical world. The company is developing deterministic, solver-grounded systems that make physics continuously computable, shifting engineering from episodic simulation to continuous physics infrastructure. Already deployed inside production engineering workflows and running on flagship programs, Vinci operates directly on native design and manufacturing geometry to enable high-fidelity physics reasoning without the traditional burden of manual setup, meshing, and specialist-only access. Rather than functioning as a faster point tool, Vinci changes the operating model of engineering by making physics more available, more repeatable, and more actionable across the organization. Its systems support design, verification, manufacturing, and reliability decisions, helping teams evaluate more scenarios, surface physical risk earlier, and improve engineering leverage without scaling specialist simulation teams linearly. Vinci’s broader aim is to make physics a shared reasoning layer for designing, building, and operating the physical world.
