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.
