About the Role
You will invent world-model architectures and controllability mechanisms for interactive, physically consistent generated worlds. You will define evaluation metrics, run scaling studies, prototype and validate improvements, and contribute research and open-source releases.
Requirements
- PhD or equivalent research record in machine learning, computer vision, robotics, or a related field
- Expertise in large-scale generative modeling, self-supervised representation learning, or model-based reinforcement learning
- Strong PyTorch and large-scale multi-node training experience
- Research record including top-venue publications or widely used open releases
Responsibilities
- Invent next-generation world-model architectures
- Develop action conditioning, view conditioning, and long-horizon rollouts
- Define metrics for physical fidelity, coherence, action-following, and downstream usefulness
- Run scaling studies across compute, data, and architecture
- Publish research and contribute to open-source releases
