About Vinci

Run full-resolution simulations in minutes. Vinci’s foundation model for physics unites AI acceleration with verified solvers for as-built accuracy. Backed by Khosla.

About the role

This role is about AI architecture and systems engineering - not low-level GPU kernel work. You will help define and scale the core operator intelligence layer. Billion-voxel inference runs today. You will help design systems that:

What they're looking for

  • Large-scale foundation model architecture
  • Transformer variants (sparse, hierarchical, graph-based)
  • Distributed training systems
  • Production ML system design
  • Scaling structured datasets
  • Writing clean, maintainable, high-quality code
More about this role

Vinci | Full-Time | Remote / Hybrid

At Vinci, we are building the operator intelligence infrastructure that modern hardware programs rely on daily. We have already proven that a single foundation model works out of the box across industries on realistic production workloads.

Trained on 45TB+ of structured physics data

Running billion-voxel inference in production

Deployed inside Tier-1 semiconductor and hardware environments

Operating across multiple physical scales and operator regimes

This is not a research prototype. This is production infrastructure. Now we are scaling deployment at industrial magnitude:

Increase simulation throughput by two orders of magnitude

Move from billion-voxel to trillion-voxel domains

Expand operator coverage across nonlinear regimes

Support global, multi-entity deployment across Tier-1 ecosystems

Our ambition is not to become a frontier AI lab. Our ambition is to become the default operator intelligence layer that hardware companies run on.

Today, our unified model already operates across a subset of partial differential equations in real industrial environments. The next phase is expanding that unified architecture across operators,...
