Staff Research Scientist, Reinforce Learning

We’re looking for Research Scientists to join Wayve Labs and help build the next generation of AI systems for autonomous driving. You’ll work at the intersection of machine learning, simulation, robotics, and real-world deployment, contributing to core innovations that push the boundaries of embodied AI.

Situated within Wayve, we are a high-conviction research team with the strategic patience and backing to prioritise multi-year breakthroughs over incremental gains. We are looking for highly motivated individuals with expertise and passion to push the frontier of embodied AI, including (but not limited to) the following areas:

World & Reward Modeling: Building realistic, diverse simulators that can predict the consequences and costs of actions.

Representation Learning & Spatial Intelligence: Advancing how machines truly understand and navigate dynamic, unstructured 3D environments, from detailed spatial understanding, to efficient long term memory.

Scalable Decision-Making Systems: Designing architectures, reasoning systems, and policy learning algorithms that operate over long contexts, and scale with data and compute.

Cross-Embodiment and Multimodal Learning: Advance embodied learning systems that can flexibly adapt to diverse robotic platforms and multimodal inputs, using vision, language, and active sensors.
