Today: Physics AI platform for hardware design (Principal Thermo-Mechanical Engineer- Paris/Grenoble posting: 'Vinci's first product is a Physics AI platform for hardware design')
Roles: Thermo-Mechanical Engineer - Palo Alto · Principal Thermal-Mechanical Engineer-Munich, Germany · Principal Thermal Solutions Engineer - Munich, Germany · Principal Thermal Solutions Engineer - Paris/Grenoble · Principal Thermo-Mechanical Engineer- Paris/Grenoble · Principal Thermal-Mechanical Engineer- IMEC, Leuven, Belgium · Principal Thermal Solutions Engineer - Taiwan · Principal Thermal Solutions Engineer- South Korea · Principal Thermal Solutions Engineer - Singapore · Product Specialist · Thermal Engineer
Requirements mention: technical sales · pre-sales · proof-of-concept evaluations · customer enablement · semiconductor electronics packaging
Inference: the company is placing principal-level customer engineers near semiconductor packaging customers in Europe and Asia to run evaluations of the thermal and thermo-mechanical product.
Today: Physics AI platform for hardware design (Principal Thermo-Mechanical Engineer- Paris/Grenoble posting)
Roles: Head of Asia GTM · Account Executive- APAC · Account Executive – EMEA · Strategic Account Executive
Requirements mention: enterprise sales · closing complex, six-to-seven-figure deals · regional go-to-market strategy · fabless vs. IDM models · advanced packaging (2.5D/3D IC)
Inference: the company is moving from founder-led selling to a regional sales structure, starting with a head of Asia GTM. Head of Asia GTM, Account Executive- APAC and Strategic Account Executive post '$300K-$400K OTE, uncapped'; the EMEA posting lists no pay.
Today: Physics AI platform for hardware design (Principal Thermo-Mechanical Engineer- Paris/Grenoble posting)
Roles: Member of Technical Staff, AI Compute & Data Infrastructure · Backend Infrastructure Engineer · Systems Engineer - Simulation Correctness · Physics Applications - Software Engineer · Physics Applications - Researcher · Member of Technical Staff - Foundation Model Architecture & AI Infrastructure
Requirements mention: multi-node distributed training · petabyte-scale data serving · GPU infrastructure · Billion-voxel inference
Inference: four of these postings say the model is expanding from steady-state into transient solutions (interactions, deformation, dynamics), so transient analysis is the likely next capability.

Roles: SI/PI Engineer · Computational Electromagnetics Engineer – Signal Integrity · Software Engineer – Nonlinear Solid Mechanics & High-Performance Computing
Requirements mention: signal integrity simulation · PDN impedance · SerDes · HBM/DRAM SI/PI · finite element method
Inference: the EM posting says the company is 'adding EM solver capabilities for signal integrity, power integrity, and EM-thermal coupling within its multi-physics platform'. The SI/PI Engineer, the newest posting, is a pre-sales role, which suggests SI/PI will be offered to the same packaging customers as the thermal product.

| Department | Open |
|---|---|
| GTM | 18 |
| Engineering | 16 |
| Legal | 1 |
Of 35 open roles, 19 are GTM, 15 are Engineering and 1 is Legal, and most GTM roles are technical pre-sales, which points to a company staffing up to sell and support a product already in market; 24 roles are at Palo Alto HQ, 7 opened in the last 30 days against 16 in the 30 days before, and none closed.
Seniority: 14 senior, 8 principal, 7 mid, 2 director, 1 manager, 1 staff, 2 unknown.
Skills named most: Python (19 roles), C++ (15 roles), 2.5D/3D IC (11 roles), semiconductor electronics packaging (8 roles), thermal management (8 roles), FEA (7 roles), Ansys Icepak (6 roles), Flotherm (6 roles), Abaqus (5 roles), Kubernetes (5 roles), CUDA (5 roles), MEDDIC or MEDDPICC (3 roles each)
Locations: Palo Alto HQ 24; Remote | APAC 2; Munich, Germany 2; Paris / Grenoble 2; Remote | EMEA 1; Hybrid | Leuven, Belgium 1; Taiwan 1; South Korea 1; Singapore 1. 33 roles are flagged remote. The Leuven role is listed as Hybrid, and the Leuven and Singapore roles have no remote flag.
If you're applying: This brief is drawn only from the job postings, which describe Vinci4D, a Palo Alto physics-AI simulation company. The vinci.com site and employee count on file belong to the French VINCI construction group, a different company. Match your background to a posting's listed requirements before applying. The Taiwan role lists Mandarin and Korean. All 15 Engineering roles are at Palo Alto HQ and flagged remote.
If you're selling or recruiting: The employer in these postings is Vinci4D, not the VINCI group at vinci.com, so do not use VINCI group contacts or headcount. Start with the 19 GTM roles: 8 are at Palo Alto HQ, 3 are regional sales roles in APAC and EMEA, and 8 are principal thermal and thermo-mechanical engineers in Europe and Asia. The newest posting, the SI/PI Engineer, points to SI/PI joining the thermal offer.
