About the role
Before the detail, here's the challenge you'd help us solve. We build the embodied intelligence that moves real vehicles safely, and the ecosystem a billion machines will run on in the future. Very few people in AI can say this. Every role here, whatever the team, plugs into that. Here’s what this particular role covers.
Simulation is advancing end-to-end autonomous driving research. The team’s mission is to accelerate AV2.0 by incubating capabilities that become company-level advantages — generative world models and the synthetic data they produce are one of those. The goal of this role is to build, scale, and optimise next-generation world model architectures (GAIA and successors) and bridge them into high-throughput generation and training infrastructure, so synthetic data can dramatically accelerate autonomy development.
You will post-train world models for new embodiments and behaviours (rig transfer, pose transfer, dashcam restaging), generate multimodal synthetic experience at scale, and land that data in the same training stack we use for real driving. You sit between ML research and engineering: collaborating with scientists on architecture and conditioning, and with platform engineers on generation jobs, training artefacts, and how synthetic data is mixed into training. Your work will decide how fast we can train, evaluate, and deploy driving models on vehicles we have barely collected from.
