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

Your north star will be production and delivering value to our customers. In this role you will leverage the Vinci framework to work on a variety of novel applications. Experiment with temporal propagation schemas, both in the classical and learned sense. You will use pre-existing data generation infrastructure to generate and curate training and verification samples. You will take modest iterative steps to prove out new utility and iterate hand in hand with customers to harden features.

What they're looking for

  • Qualifications,
  • Have published work leveraging or building a simulation practice
  • MS/MSc with 4+ years experience or
  • PhD with 2+ years experience
  • 2+ years using or building physics simulators
  • FEM, FEA, Molecular Dynamics, FDTD
More about this role

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 physics on realistic production workloads.

Trained on PetaBytes of structured physics data

Running billion-voxel inference in production

Tier-1 semiconductor and hardware customers

Operating across multiple physical scales and operator regimes

Increase simulation throughput by two orders of magnitude

Expand simulation capabilities to maximize utility and domain coverage

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

Our ambition is to become the default operator intelligence layer that hardware companies run on

Our proven unified model architecture allows users to rapidly obtain steady state solutions of various partial differential equations. We are expanding this capability into the transient domain, modeling interactions, deformation and dynamics. These are promising applications where Vinci’s approach can not only reduce the compute load but also achieve greater accuracy.

Your north star will be production and delivering value to our customers.
