── About this role ──
*한국어 공고는 아래에 있습니다.*

In this role, you will train the action-conditioned world models to predict a robot's future states, and use virtual rollouts and action search to generate and select actions with higher probability of success. You will also own the "prediction-and-planning axis of AI Core", letting robots imagine and verify before they act.

Key Responsibility:

• Train action-conditioned world models and develop future-state prediction for robots
• Simulate candidate actions via virtual rollout and assess success likelihood
• Build action-search/planning pipelines that generate and select better actions
• Design metrics that quantify world-model prediction accuracy and planning performance
• Collaborate with VLA/policy teams to integrate world-model-based planning into real policies

Requirements:

• 3–5 years of research/engineering experience in world models, model-based RL, or video/dynamics prediction
• Hands-on experience designing and training action-conditioned generative models
• Strong skills in training sequence models (transformers, diffusion, etc.) in Python and PyTorch, including distributed training
• Experience utilizing or evaluating dynamics/prediction models in robotic or simulated environments
• Master's degree in CS, AI, Robotics, or equivalent experience

Preferred:

• Publication record at top-tier venues (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CoRL, RSS, etc.) in world models, model-based RL, or video prediction
• Experience training diffusion- or transformer-based action-conditioned dynamics models at scale
• Research experience in practical world model deployment, such as long-horizon rollout stabilization or sim-to-real transfer
• Experience deploying model-based planning or world-model-based policies on real robots
• Master/PhD in CS, AI, or Robotics

Benefits:

• No restrictions on the use of AI tools (Claude).
• We minimize unnecessary meetings and make decisions quickly.
• Modern intranet/tools — Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, Linear, Workable, Flex.team, etc.
