World Model Research Engineer (MOTHER EXO)

Advance the EXO world model: latent video and action dynamics that let the robot predict the consequence of an action before it takes it.

Key responsibilities:

• Train and evaluate world-model and latent-dynamics heads on the frozen MOTHER backbone.
• Design rollout and evaluation harnesses that measure prediction quality honestly.
• Bring published research into the stack and report what does and does not transfer.
• Work with controls and manipulation to turn prediction into behaviour.

Requirements:

Strong machine learning research engineering; sequence and video models, latent dynamics, VLA or world models; PyTorch at multi-GPU scale; publishes or reproduces rigorously.

Salary:
