Research Scientist, Robot Foundation Model

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 beyond not self-driving vehicles. Our goal is to create intelligent agents that can perceive, reason, move and manipulate the physical world across diverse embodiments, including mobile manipulators, dual-arm platforms and humanoids.

This is a rare opportunity to help build a new robotics program from the ground up while working closely with experienced researchers in foundation models, embodied intelligence and large-scale machine learning. You will have meaningful ownership of research projects, contribute to the team’s technical direction and see your ideas tested on real robotic systems.

You will work across the robot-learning stack: developing model architectures and learning algorithms, building scalable data and training pipelines, designing evaluations and deploying policies on physical robots. The goal is to produce both strong research and increasingly general, robust and useful real-world capabilities.

Your day-to-day work may span vision-language-action models, world and action models, multimodal and omni mode
