About the role
We are looking for a Research Scientist to join the Multi-Embodiment Generalist Agent (MEGA) team within Wayve Science as a founding member. MEGA is building foundation models for general-purpose robots: models that learn from large-scale video, language, and robot-interaction data, then generalize across tasks and embodiments—including mobile manipulators, dual-arm platforms, and humanoids. Our aim is to build agents that can perceive, reason about, and act reliably in the physical world.
What they're looking for
- Research and develop model architectures, learning objectives, and data strategies for robot foundation models
- Empirical research experience – experience hill climbing on ML models
- Experience with various data sources – annotation, filtering, mixing strategies
- Develop scalable self-supervised and generative pre-training methods using web video, egocentric video, and robot-interaction data
- Develop post-training approaches—including supervised fine-tuning, imitation learning, reinforcement learning, and related methods—to improve real-world robot capabilities
- Curate, filter, and evaluate large-scale robotics datasets, including egocentric, UMI, and teleoperated data
