About the job

Researches and builds planning methods that condition a learned physics model on objectives and generate actions to achieve them.

What you'll do

  • Develop planning, control, and decision-making methods for learned physics models, including under uncertainty in high-dimensional continuous state spaces.
  • Build objective and constraint interfaces and methods for generating actions that satisfy them; evaluate decision quality through experiments and ablations.
  • Work across data, models, evaluation, and infrastructure to take research ideas from prototype to scaled training runs.

What they ask for

  • Strong grasp of machine learning fundamentals and depth in at least one relevant area, such as reinforcement learning, planning and control, decision-making under uncertainty, model-based RL, or post-training of large models.
  • Experience training models and analyzing experimental results through careful analysis and ablation studies.
  • Familiarity with reasoning, planning, or acting with learned models.
  • Track record of turning open-ended research problems into working systems.

AI focus

Build the planning layer for a Large Physics foundation Model, enabling objective-conditioned planning and action generation for physical systems.
