About this role

Job Summary

We are seeking a Machine Learning Research Scientist with experience in Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs), multimodal modeling, and world model development. The candidate will develop AI models that combine physical principles and multimodal data to simulate complex systems and predict real-world behavior.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and implement Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) and physics-informed machine learning models.
  • Build multimodal models integrating data such as images, sensor measurements, time-series, and simulation outputs.
  • Develop predictive world models to learn system dynamics, simulate environments, and forecast future states.
  • Combine physics-based simulations with data-driven machine learning approaches.
  • Validate model accuracy, physical consistency, and performance using real-world or simulated data.

Required Qualifications

  • Master's or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Applied Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, or a related field.
  • Hands-on experience with PINNs or scientific machine learning.
  • Experience in multimodal modeling and/or world model development.
  • Strong Python programming skills and experience with PyTorch or TensorFlow.
  • Knowledge of neural networks, physical systems, numerical methods, or simulation.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Research or industry experience in automotive, robotics, autonomous systems, or physical AI.
  • Experience with sensor fusion, differential equations, simulation, or predictive dynamics models.
  • Relevant research publications or project experience.
