Research Scientist, World Models
Waabi, Toronto, ON +3
The role
Waabi’s autonomous-driving stack is powered by Waabi World, which aims to deliver realistic, scalable, controllable, and efficient simulation. As a Research Scientist in World Models, you will develop algorithms and productionize the next generation of World Models that can reason about complex, dynamic 4D environments.
This role focuses on large-scale world models for temporal reasoning and generation, including video models, multimodal generative models, LLM/VLM/VLA models, and predictive models of traffic participants and scenes. Your work will directly power Waabi World’s ability to model future evolution, synthesize realistic safety-critical scenarios, and provide rich generative priors for downstream planning, testing, and training.
What you will do
- Conduct fundamental and applied research in generative and predictive world-modeling
- Video generation and prediction.
- Latent diffusion / autoregressive / flow-matching models.
- Multimodal foundation models for driving scenes.
