Rhoda AI
Research Member of Technical Staff- Video Generation Modeling
Mountain View · Staff · Full-time · Posted May 18, 2026
- Education
- PhD in ML, CS, Robotics, or a related field—or equivalent research/industry experience (nice to have).
About the job
Research and develop large-scale causal video generation models, using web-scale video pretraining to improve video prediction and downstream robotic action prediction.
What you'll do
- Design and train video generation models; develop and validate architectures, training objectives, and data mixtures.
- Study scaling laws, data efficiency, and transfer from web video to robotic control; build evaluations and run ablations.
- Collaborate with related teams to turn research into working systems; publish and present research, especially for the RS track.
What they ask for
- Strong background in large-scale generative modeling, through video generation or language model pretraining.
- Hands-on experience training large generative models from scratch at scale.
- Deep understanding of autoregressive modeling, causal architectures, and scaling behavior.
- Fluency with modern ML frameworks; PyTorch required.
Nice to have
- JAX; PhD in ML, CS, Robotics, or a related field—or equivalent research/industry experience.
- Relevant publications or experience in video generation, language model pretraining, web-scale video, robotic learning, or distributed training.
Tools
PyTorch, JAX, LLMs, autoregressive transformers, diffusion transformers
AI focus
Large-scale causal video generation and pretraining, with research into transferring web-video knowledge to robotic control and action prediction.
