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.

Action-conditioned world model을 학습하여 로봇의 미래 상태를 예측하고, virtual rollout과 action search를 통해 더 높은 성공 가능성을 가진 action을 생성·선별하는 역할입니다. 로봇이 '행동하기 전에 상상하고 검증'할 수 있게 만드는, Laplacian AI Core의 예측·계획 축을 담당합니다

주요업무

  • Action-conditioned world model 학습 및 로봇 미래 상태 예측 모델 개발
  • Virtual rollout을 통한 action 후보 시뮬레이션 및 성공 가능성 평가
  • Action search·planning을 통해 더 나은 action을 생성·선별하는 파이프라인 구축
  • World Model의 예측 정확도·계획 성능을 정량 평가하는 지표 설계
  • VLA·policy 팀과 협업하여 world model 기반 planning을 실제 policy에 통합

Requirements

  • World model, model-based RL, 또는 video/dynamics prediction 관련 3~5년의 연구·개발 경험
  • Action-conditioned generative model 설계 및 학습 실무 경험
  • Python·PyTorch 기반 시퀀스 모델(transformer, diffusion 등) 학습 및 분산 학습 역량
  • 로봇 또는 시뮬레이션 환경에서 dynamics·prediction 모델을 활용하거나 평가해본 경험
  • 컴퓨터공학·AI·로봇공학 관련 석사 이상 또는 그에 준하는 경험

우대사항

  • World model, model-based RL, video prediction 분야 탑티어 학회 (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CoRL, RSS 등) 논문 실적
  • Diffusion·transformer 기반 action-conditioned dynamics 모델을 대규모로 학습해본 경험
  • Long-horizon rollout 안정화, sim-to-real transfer 등 world model 실전 적용 관련 연구 경험
  • 실 로봇에 model-based planning 또는 world model 기반 policy를 배포해본 경험
  • 컴퓨터공학·AI·로봇공학 관련 석/박사 학위

Benefits

  • Claude 등 AI 도구 사용에 제한이 없습니다.
  • 불필요한 회의를 최소화하고 빠르게 의사결정합니다.
  • Modern intranet/tools - Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, Linear, Workable, Flex.team 등.
