Lead an ambitious research agenda at the intersection of LLMs, VLMs, VLAs and embodied AI, exploring how world knowledge, memory and reasoning improve physical-world decision-making. Stay hands-on developing architectures, training and post-training large-scale models, while mentoring researchers and shaping technical direction across London and Sunnyvale.

PyTorch

• London
• Remote
• Lead
• Permanent

Owns the end-to-end architecture and technical roadmap for Remote Assistance, the real-time bridge between Wayve's AI Driver and human operators, spanning onboard vehicle integration, offboard services and operator HMI.

HMI

• London
• Hybrid
• Lead · manages people
• Permanent

Lead a team of ML engineers and applied scientists building a production synthetic-data engine from generative world models like GAIA-3, covering rig and pose transfer, controllability and large-scale GPU inference.
