Member of Technical Staff, Robotics Research Lead
Job Description
Our lab sits at the intersection of world models, video generation, and robotics, building systems that represent complex environments, reason about objects and dynamics, and translate high-level AI intentions into smooth, efficient, safe, and responsive actions across a variety of robotic embodiments.
What You’ll Do:
Lead the design and execution of our AI’s robotics research agenda
Recruit, mentor, and manage a small team of research scientists and engineers in our London lab
Collaborate with the world model and simulation teams to develop state-of-the-art training platforms for robotics
Guide the creation of persistent 3D/4D scene representations and advanced embodied AI methodologies
Drive research efforts in scene understanding, sim-to-real transfer, and advanced planning
Foster partnerships with leading ML researchers, hardware specialists, and external collaborators
Help establish the lab's technical culture and external reputation
Areas of Interest:
We are especially interested in candidates excited to work on:
World models for embodied systems
3D/4D generative models
Scene reconstruction and understanding
Embodied AI
Object-level and semantic SLAM
Multimodal AI
What We’re Looking For:
Strong background in robotics, computer vision, or related areas
Experience leading or managing small technical or research teams
Hands-on expertise with 3D perception, scene representations, world models, or simulation
Excellent programming skills (Python, C++, or similar)
Entrepreneurial spirit and excitement about building in a startup or early-stage lab environment
Ability to work effectively across machine learning, perception, and robotics disciplines
Outstanding communication and team-building skills
