    Description

    Who are we?

    Our team is the first in the world to use autonomous vehicles on public roads using end-to-end deep learning, computer vision and reinforcement learning. Leveraging our multi-national world-class team of researchers and engineers, we're using data to learn more intelligent algorithms to bring autonomy for everyone, everywhere. We aim to be the future of self-driving cars, learning from experience and data.

    Impact expected

    We are seeking an experienced researcher to be a founding member of our Vancouver team We are prioritising someone with experience leading projects in AI applied to autonomous driving or similar robotics or decision-making domains, inclusive, but not limited to the following specific areas:

  • Foundation models for robotics or embodied AI
  • Model-free and model-based reinforcement learning
  • Offline reinforcement learning
  • Large language models
  • Planning with learned models, model predictive control and tree search
  • Imitation learning, inverse reinforcement learning and causal inference
  • Learned agent models: behavioral and physical models of cars, people, and other dynamic agents

    • Challenges you will own

    You'll be working on some of the world's hardest problems, and able to attack them in new ways. You'll be a technical leader within our diverse, cross-disciplinary team, helping teach our robots how to drive safely and comfortably in complex real-world environments. This encompasses many aspects of research across perception, prediction, planning, and control, including:

  • Actively contribute to the Science's technical leadership community, inclusive of proposing new projects, organising their work, and delivering substantial impact across Wayve.
  • Leverage our large, rich, and diverse sources of real-world driving data
  • Architect our models to best employ the latest advances in foundation models, transformers, world models, etc, evaluating and incorporating state-of-the-art techniques into our workflows.
  • Investigate learning algorithms to use (e.g. reinforcement learning, behavioural cloning)
  • Leverage simulation for controlled experimental insight, training data augmentation, and re-simulation
  • Scale models efficiently across data, model size, and compute, while maintaining efficient deployment on the car
  • Collaborate with cross-functional, international teams to integrate research findings into scalable, production-level solutions.
  • Potentially contribute to academic publications for top-tier conferences like NeurIPS, CVPR, ICRA, ICLR, CoRL etc. working in a world-class team, contributing to the scientific community and establishing Wayve as a leader in the field.

  • Proven track record of research in one or more of the topics above demonstrated through deployed applications or publications.
  • Experience leading a research agenda aligned with larger organisation or company goals
  • Strong programming skills in Python, with experience in deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch, numpy, pandas, etc.
  • Experience bringing a machine learning research concept through the full ML development cycle
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently as well as in a team environment.
  • Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, innovative, interdisciplinary team environment.

    • Desirable:

  • Experience bringing an ML research concept through to production and at scale
  • PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field

    • What we offer you

  • A position to shape the future of autonomous driving and embodied AI, and thus to tackle one of the biggest challenges of our time
  • Immersion in a team of world-class researchers, engineers and entrepreneurs
  • Competitive compensation and share options
