We Are Looking For Highly Motivated Individuals With Expertise And Passion To Push The Frontier Of Embodied AI, Including (but Not Limited To) The Following Areas World & Reward Modeling: Building realistic, diverse simulators that can predict the consequences and costs of actions. Representation Learning & Spatial Intelligence: Advancing how machines truly understand and navigate dynamic, unstructured 3D environments, from detailed spatial understanding, to efficient long term memory. Scalable Decision-Making Systems: Designing architectures, reasoning systems, and policy learning algorithms that operate over long contexts, and scale with data and compute. Cross-Embodiment and Multimodal Learning: Advance embodied learning systems that can flexibly adapt to diverse robotic platforms and multimodal inputs, using vision, language, and active sensors. Key Responsibilities
- Develop World Models and Planners (e.g., diffusion-based, autoregressive, or hybrid approaches) for realistic and consistent simulation
- Advance Reinforcement Learning and Reward Modeling, building scalable and safe learning frameworks across real and synthetic data
- Develop Geometric Foundation Models for 3D spatial understanding in dynamic, real-world environments.
- Enable Cross-Embodiment Robotics, leveraging the power of multimodal foundation models to accelerate robotic learning on diverse platforms.
- Conduct empirical research on Scaling laws, Generalisation, and Sim-to-real transfer
- Define and evolve Evaluation Frameworks and Benchmarks for long-horizon prediction, scene fidelity, and driving performance
- 3+ years of experience developing and deploying ML systems in real-world or production settings
- PhD, Master’s degree, or equivalent experience in Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Robotics, or a related field
- Deep expertise in one or more core Embodied AI areas, such as:
- Foundation models (e.g., transformers, MoE, large-scale training)
- Generative world modeling (e.g., diffusion, autoregressive, hybrid approaches)
- Reinforcement learning (e.g., offline RL, RLHF, reward modeling)
- Spatial AI (e.g., SLAM/SfM, depth estimation, multi-view geometry with multimodal sensors)
- Track record of publications at top-tier conferences (e.g., NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CVPR, ICCV, CoRL)
- Strong programming skills in Python, with experience using frameworks such as PyTorch
- A data-centric mindset, with experience working on large-scale datasets and evaluation
- Strong problem-solving ability and the ability to collaborate effectively in interdisciplinary teams
- Experience in autonomous driving, robotics, or simulation systems
- Familiarity with large-scale training (e.g., FSDP, DeepSpeed, JAX)
- Experience with sim-to-real transfer or data-efficient learning
- Contributions to open-source ML tools or research infrastructure
- Attractive compensation with salary and equity
- Immersion in a team of world-class researchers, engineers and entrepreneurs
- A unique position to shape the future of autonomy and tackle the biggest challenge of our time
- Bespoke learning and development opportunities
- Relocation support with visa sponsorship
- Flexible working hours - we trust you to do your job well, at times that suit you and your time
- Benefits such as an onsite chef, workplace nursery scheme, private health insurance, therapy, daily yoga, onsite bar, large social budgets, unlimited L&D requests, enhanced parental leave, and more!
