World Model Research Scientist- Physical AI

• Design and train generative world models that synthesize realistic multi-camera video and LiDAR conditioned on ego trajectories, 3D scene context, and text
• Research and implement conditional diffusion architectures for driving, including spatiotemporal attention, latent space design, and action-conditioned generation
• Develop techniques for multi-view geometric consistency in generated outputs, drawing on neural rendering, cross-view attention, and 3D-aware generative approaches
• Build methods for joint multimodal generation that maintain cross-sensor consistency between camera, LiDAR, and radar outputs
• Design evaluation frameworks that measure world model quality beyond pixel-level metrics, including scenario fidelity and autoregressive stability
• Scale training pipelines to learn from thousands of hours of real-world driving data across multiple sensor modalities

• MS or PhD in Computer Science, AI, Robotics, or a related field, with a focus on generative modeling, neural rendering, or video synthesis
• Strong publication record or demonstrated research contributions in diffusion models, video generation, neural radiance fields, 3D-aware generative models, or world models
• Experience with neural rendering and view synthesis and an understanding of multi-view geometric consistency
• Proficiency working with multimodal sensor data (camera, LiDAR, radar) and familiarity with 3D representations such as BEV grids, voxel fields, or tri-planes
• Strong implementation skills in Python and PyTorch, with experience training large generative models at scale using distributed training
• Passion for building AI that understands and predicts the physical world to enable safe autonomous driving
