Research Scientist

Set the technical direction for the world model. Mix of ML research, engineering taste, and the courage to commit to a long-horizon bet. Experience with 3D Gaussian Splatting or large-scale generative models expected.

Build the substrate. Train and ship the core models. Own training infra, evaluation, and the loop from a paper to a shipped model. Strong background in 3D GS or generative models (diffusion, video, world models).

Bring the world model inside robotics platforms. Perception, prediction, policy — one model, all three. Background in 3D GS, generative world models, or robotics learning.

A CS background or equivalent depth — by degree or by doing.

  • High agency – You spot the problem and drive the fix before anyone asks.
  • Fast learner – You absorb new ground quickly and thrive when the pace is high.
  • Kind & collaborative – You make the team around you better.
  • Ownership – You take results personally and do whatever the work demands.
  • Composure – Steady and clear-headed when things get hard or ambiguous.
  • Curious, but skeptical – Open and creative, yet questioning — never too quick to trust.
  • A point of view – Thoughtful, informed opinions on technology and where it's going.
