About the Role
We are looking for an Applied Scientist to join the Science team at Wayve, a leading developer of Embodied AI technology. This role focuses on developing the next generation of GAIA, our generative world model, to advance autonomous driving research.
Key Responsibilities
- →Invent next-generation generative world models (diffusion, transformer, or hybrid) that deliver real-time, controllable rollouts.
- →Architect controllable GAIA models where agents can step into the world, enabling reinforcement learning, planning, and safety evaluation.
- →Define robust metrics for long-horizon coherence, physics fidelity, and planner integration; run ablations and scaling studies to understand trade-offs.
- →Ship impact by integrating models with fleet-scale training, sim-to-real evaluation, and on-vehicle deployment.
- →Mentor and influence: guide junior researchers, shape technical roadmaps, publish at top venues, and represent Wayve in the global research community.
- →Challenge assumptions: propose bold ideas, run disruptive experiments, and question conventional approaches.
Requirements
- ✓Expertise in ML research/engineering with a focus on generative video, world models.
- ✓Deep knowledge in diffusion and latent-video models.
- ✓Experience working with high-dimensional temporal or spatial-temporal data (e.g., video, multi-sensor fusion).
- ✓Strong Python and PyTorch engineering fundamentals, and experience building research-grade production tools.
- ✓Strong publication record or contributions to open-source ML tooling.
- ✓Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, innovative, interdisciplinary team environment.
- ✓Desirable
- ✓Experience in AVs, robotics, simulation, or other embodied AI domains.
- ✓Experience working with synthetic-to-real transfer.
