About the role
About Us 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. By bridging the gap between traditional simulation and machine learning, we are redefining how the world’s most advanced semiconductors are designed, verified, built, brought to market and integrated in complex systems. Role Overview As part of the Forward Deployment team in Europe, you will play a pivotal role in driving the adoption of Vinci’s platform among leading engineering organizations. This is a high-impact leadership position where you will build, mentor, and lead a team of thermal and thermo-mechanical engineers focused on engaging prospective customers and demonstrating the transformative value of Vinci’s software. You and your team will bring deep expertise in thermal and thermo-mechanical simulation , applying hands-on experience to validate real-world customer designs using Vinci’s platform. Through these engagements, you will showcase how Vinci enables significant improvements in product design, thermal and mechanical performance, reliability, and time-to-market. Leveraging strong fundamentals in thermal physics and continuum mechanics , you will guide analyses of complex physical phenomena, including steady-state and transient thermal behavior, linear and nonlinear mechanics, geometric and material nonlinearities, and contact interactions. Your team will evaluate critical factors such as thermal risk, warpage, stress evolution, and reliability across advanced semiconductor devices, electronics packages, and wafer-scale systems. 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 t o 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.
