More about this role

Vinci is building the intelligence layer for hardware engineering. Powered by the world's first foundation model for physics, our platform delivers deterministic, solver-grade physics simulation directly on native design and manufacturing geometry, at orders-of-magnitude higher throughput.

Today, the world's most advanced semiconductors are still designed using workflows that assume physics is scarce, slow, and expert-gated. Vinci makes high-fidelity physics continuously available throughout the design process, so engineering teams can explore more of the design space, surface issues earlier, and accelerate design cycles across thermal, packaging, and system-level challenges.

Vinci is already deployed on production engineering programs at leading semiconductor companies, with multiple pilots converting into commercial engagements.

As Product Lead, Cross-Functional Programs, you will be the connective function across Product, Engineering, Partnerships, and Go-to-Market, turning Vinci's highest-priority initiatives into working launches, proven customer results, and repeatable adoption.

In this role, you will own how strategic initiatives are scoped, planned, built, validated, and...
