WHY WE WOULD WORK AT VINCI
Make Physics Continuous
Help turn physics into a continuously computable part of hardware design. Vinci's mission is to give engineers physical insight at the pace of innovation.
Build Physics AI
Work on a foundation model combining physics-based computation, geometry processing, AI, and GPU-native computing. The platform targets solver-accurate thermal and thermo-mechanical simulation.
Ship Faster Engineering
Vinci reports simulation speedups of up to 1,000× versus traditional tools, including one benchmark completed 360× faster. Your work can compress workflows that traditionally take hours or days.
Scale a Breakout Company
Join a company founded in 2023 that has raised $250M in Series B funding at a reported $1.5B valuation. The capital supports broader physics coverage, customer integrations, and production deployments.
Own Real-World Impact
Collaborate across AI research, simulation engineering, geometry, and hardware expertise on software already deployed in production programs at leading semiconductor manufacturers. More than ten semiconductor companies have benchmarked Vinci against traditional solvers and experimental data.
Shape Hardware's Future
Start with semiconductors, advanced 2.5D/3D packages, PCBs, and electronics, then help expand physics AI toward vehicles, aircraft, satellites, and other physical products.

PRODUCT AND TECH
Physics AI Foundation Model
A solver-grounded foundation model combines physics-based computation, AI, geometry processing, and GPU-native computing for hardware engineering simulation. It is designed to deliver deterministic, high-fidelity results faster than conventional finite-element-analysis tools.
Thermal Simulation
Vinci-Thermal analyzes steady-state and transient thermal conduction across semiconductor components, advanced packages, PCBs, and electronic systems. The platform supports detailed temperature-distribution and thermal-management studies.
Thermo-Mechanical Analysis
The platform performs steady-state thermoelasticity analysis, including warpage prediction and mechanical reliability studies. It supports complex semiconductor packages, interposers, BEOL structures, and other electronic geometries.
Geometry Workflow Automation
Vinci ingests design formats such as OASIS, GDS, MCM, and IPC-2581, then automates geometry processing, meshing, convergence, and simulation setup. This reduces the manual preparation traditionally required for finite-element analysis.
GPU Enterprise Deployment
The software runs as a Debian application or Docker container on Linux and GPU infrastructure. Organizations can deploy it behind their firewalls on premises or through AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud environments.
