Founding Machine Learning - World Models

One RobotSan Francisco, CA
$150,000 - $275,000

About The Position

We build world models that simulate manipulation scenes faithfully enough to validate, and one day, train policies without touching a robot. You'll develop generative models that make this work, with the controllability and physical fidelity to match real-robot behavior.

Requirements

  • Very strong coding in Python and PyTorch (or similar).
  • Deep experience training image or video generation models end-to-end.
  • Track record operating training runs at cluster scale.
  • Working knowledge of multi-view geometry, scene reconstruction, and physical priors.

Responsibilities

  • Train video and dynamics models: Develop world models with action conditioning for manipulation policies.
  • Push long-horizon coherence: Develop architectures and training methods that extend rollout quality on hard physical tasks.
  • Own training infrastructure: Run multi-GPU clusters, write custom CUDA, debug at scale.
  • Build the world-model data engine: Design, implement, and improve a data engine that allows the world model to compound learning across customers and manipulation tasks.
