Research Scientist, Wayve Labs

We are seeking 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. Responsibilities include developing World Models and Planners for realistic simulation, advancing reinforcement learning and reward modeling, developing geometric foundation models for 3D spatial understanding, enabling cross-embodiment robotics with multimodal foundation models, and conducting empirical research on scaling laws, generalisation, and sim-to-real transfer. You’ll define and evolve evaluation frameworks and benchmarks for long-horizon prediction, scene fidelity, and driving performance.
